Our New Ride
18 April 2012 | Stuart, Florida
We’re still here and still waiting for that elusive weather window. Yesterday, Tom and Maureen listened to Chris Parker and there is a significant weather issue out in the Gulf which will reach us this weekend. Chris is recommending that there could be strong gale force winds over the weekend and into the first of the week. Obviously, we are staying here safely tied up to a mooring ball. Patty and I listened to Chris this morning and there have been no changes to his prediction.
To pass the time yesterday afternoon, we all met up in the boater’s lounge for some cards. Tom and Maureen taught us a game called Golf which is a game just 2 can play, as well. Then, Bob and Mary came in for Hand and Foot. Of course, the men prevailed.
This morning, even before breakfast, we took the boat over to the fuel dock to top off our fuel tank and to pump out. It’s just one of those tasks that must be done on a regular basis, particularly if we may be confined to the boat this weekend. We then headed into town on the marina’s shuttle bus for some supplies. What a great service. However, Patty and I did get a bit confused as we were walking to our intended destination. Fortunately, our iphone pointed out my error and got us back on track. So much for my navigational skills.
We then returned to the card table this afternoon. This time, Bob and Mary brought a card game called Phase 10, for players 7 and older. Some of us found it to very challenging. Makes you wonder.
