Carey put this downtime to good use reorganizing the galley and every storage area, with the now familiar announcement … “I’ve overstocked!” Having decided not to enlarge a bit with the 46′ Grand Banks we checked out in Brunswick, we’ll just streamline a bit. We have now installed the Starlink system to provide us with satellite Wi-Fi we were missing on this boat. You can’t deny news junkies their news! We enjoyed the Marina’s lighted tree park with music every night that synchs with the lights. I even did a bit of sanding off some of the old varnish outside of the boat. Now our focus is planning our next stops and staging our crossover to the Abacos. Looks like a great weather window next Wednesday, Jan 7. Crossing our fingers the weather holds! Next step is to leave Tuesday to make Lake Worth in Palm Beach for the crossing. A popular departure inlet, we’ll no doubt be joined by more than a few other transients. Ready to get this show on the road. For the meantime we have thoroughly enjoyed Fort Pierce marina, our Florida boat home over the years and met so many nice and enthusiastic boaters. Now, we’re taking off for “First Friday” at the adjacent park with music and food vendors. It’s Fort Pierces’ monthly block party.
Enjoy. I’m happy you’re enjoying Ft Pierce.
