Whew more running around town picking up last-minute stuff for boat and things for boat cleaning. I also had to go get lidocaine for Steve’s sunburn. WOW you never know how much you miss being a spoiled American with everything at your beck and call. Boy are we privileged to be here. I hope we can keep this place strong. I was overjoyed to “drive” thru Mc Donalds and get breakfast. Funny what you miss when you dont have it. I walked through the boat yard today and looked at all the sailboats there. Some were hurricane damaged on the back row, and had been salvaged. Their once majestic masts gone and the boards that had kept the raging seas at bay ripped into ragged shreds like toothpicks. If i have learned anything it is that nature takes no prisoners. A lot of people were cleaning, repairing and unloading their boats so that they could work on them. This yard lets you work on your own boat. Which is great. We did not realize that the boat yard has been divorced. (not going to even go there). Lets just say we made sure our boat is taken good care of this boat yard has the best reputation around and has been family run for 35 years. Ft Pierce is a nice little town. Our friends Carol and Ron called us and we met them at Port St Lucie 18 miles south of us. We walked into this very neat town with all kinds of neat little stores and all kinds of restaurants. The place we ate had some wonderful tex mex and seafood. The restaurant was so neat the way it was made. It reminded me of Naples. Very neat and clean with all kinds of scenery, our friends were staying in an awesome marina with ameinities out the yang. I would love to be there but it is just a marina not a boat yard. There was a beautiful riverwalk and rocking chairs by the water tosit and relax in and watch the boats go by. We walked back to their boat after we ate and sat and talked until midnight almost. Steve and I had a wonderful walk back to the van and got home at a little after midnight and fell asleep. An end to another great day.
