Stuart - 4/15/09
16 April 2009
We are at Sunset Bay Marina which has a mooring ball field managed by the City of Stuart, Florida. We have made it to the east coast. Our last night at Indiantown Marina was quite interesting. First, we found an Italian restaurant in town that would come to the marina and pick us up for dinner and then drive us back. A great service for those traveling by boat when the marina is not immediately adjacent to a community. After our return from dinner, a front came through and the winds picked up to 35 to 40 mph for a couple of hours. After making sure the boat was secure, Patty and I headed to the boater's lounge to watch some television. One boater told us he registered a gust of 60 mph. We pulled out of Indiantown at 9:00 this morning and arrived here by 1:30 pm., having to go through another lock on the St. Lucie River that lowered us about 8 feet. We plan on being here until Monday or Tuesday when the weather should be right to cross over to the Bahamas.
