Greg and Dona joined us for a few days at Hammock Beach. And then Dave and Kathy came aboard. We left a few days after they arrived for the trek down the ICW.
Before we left eagle eye Dave spotted the air leak in our big dinghy. Two small slits. We patched it successfully but the temps were only about 60 and plunging into the low forties the next few nights so we left the patches to sit hoping they'd setup ok.
Dave and I played the Ocean course here. Scary expensive but a fun time. My golf scores continue to grow as does my age.
We anchord our way down south towards Ft. Pierce except for a mooring ball in Titusville.
Stayed in Ft. Pierce a few days to see some friends and then anchored in Stuart before stumbling on a vacant mooring ball at Sunset which we grabbed for a few days.
We anchored in Palm Beach where Dave and Kathy departed and then, left making our way down the ICW anchoring in Lake Santa Barbara, Oleta Park, Boca Chita, Tarpon Basin where we met up with Dave and Darlene. Then on to Matecumbe Bight (Robies Marina was quite a dog pit stop!) before arriving in Marathon and the Marathon Marina.
Like coming home again. And Marathon sure made a herculean effort to clean up after the hurricane. It was pretty much Marathon as we knew it except for the City Marina dinghy dock.
Several couples we met here are primed to take off for the Bahamas. Gives one pause for thought. Sure would be great to go back there again, especially in this weather.
As for details, well I still haven't updated the blog of unwritten, but not forgotten details.
Yet.
Perhaps after I complete our taxes?!
