Stuart: The stop over that lasted two months
We came to the Harborage Yacht Club and Marina in Stuart, Florida on the suggestion of Dave and Ginger Kauppi (S/V Avalon). They had heard about it from E. Don and Eileen Smith M/V Shangra La) Paul and Dawn Gudelis came for a visit and made the video of their visit.
We pulled in on December 4, 2009 and we found a facility beyond the usual hype, this place is great. Clean, well cared for, a short distance to the City of Stuart, really helpful people and at a reasonable cost. The beautiful club house includes a pool and hot tub. The workout room is well appointed with modern machines plus a sauna and steam shower. The club also includes a first class restaurant and every Thursday night they host a "meet and greet". Yoga classes are offered by the pool a couple of days a week. We had planned to stay a month which included a 3 week visit to Seattle to visit Sarah and Lauren. Here we are two months later still in lovely Stuart..
John and Jerie retired June 26, 2009 from Law and Education. They are cruising in the Carribean. They spent the first hurracan season in Trinidad. They are now heading west.
