STUART FLORIDA ARRIVAL

We arrived in high winds and tide running at the Sunset Bay Marina, just what boaters don't like!! We had two helpers on the dock to help with lines. We are now “home” here until January, plugged in and enjoying the marina and amenities. Our journey here was uneventful, hence no postings for awhile. However I did take a picture of the Goodyear Blimp as it seemed to follow us for a short while. This was outside of Vero Beach. We took a mooring ball at the Vero Beach City Marina on Tuesday night. The clouds were so interesting I took a picture, but as you all know pictures do not seem to capture what I saw. ALL PICTURES ON ANY POSTING can be clicked on to enlarge.




We walked to the Publix Grocery store this afternoon and just as we were walking on the dock a large school of small fish jumped all over the place near shore. This young crane noticed it too and we watched him walk ever so slowly towards that school of fish. He was determined a snack was in order.





Here on the dock we have a boat behind and in front of us and unfortunately a large yacht on the other side of us. “Grumpy” is blocking our view of the waterway. We usually watch the boats coming and going under the bridge. This huge yacht is the kind that has crew members on board. I joked to myself and asked where is "Sleepy and Sneezy"... ?? A beautiful boat. 

We leave tomorrow morning for St. Augustine with a rental car to pick up our own car, spend the night in Daytona on the way back. We spoke to people in Ontario today and hear it is cool there! We are enjoying the warm temps here but they are below average, we will take it.

BECAUSE I know you want to know....
