Photo is interesting. If you get tired of the high price of moorage, just buy a little house and park your yacht there!
We have just spent the last 4 days in the city of Stuart. Our first night we anchored across from the Sunset Bay Marina where we would be checking in the next morning.
John was scheduled to teach on Wed and Thurs, and I would be doing our weekly laundry and biking to a few familiar places that I had been to last year.
The marina laundry mat was very clean and the washers and dryers were only $2.00 a load, but the washers had painfully long 1 hour cycles. That pretty much ate up my morning, sure wish we could fit a washer on Eagle Heart. That afternoon I rode my bike to the old downtown of Stuart to find the post office and browse a few of the boutiques and shops. Most of the shops were catering to the female tourists with lots of expensive clothes, jewellery and shoes. I saved my fun money for the next day when I would ride three miles to my favourite dept store called Bealls Outlet. Its a lot like our Winners but the prices are way better.
Our old galley faucet was leaking and needed to be replaced, so this was our Wed evening project. I hand John the tools and he does the work. As predicted it ended up being a 3 1/2 hour job, and we have two more faucets that need to be replaced another day when we have nothing else to do ( ha ha)
Our friend Michael was attending some business meetings nearby in Boca Raton, so he stopped by on Thursday and had a short visit with us.
We left Sunset Bay Marina at Noon, and cruised to Riviera Beach, 36 miles South. This will be our departure point for the Grand Bahamas Island, hopefully on Tuesday, weather and boat gods permitting!
