We left Port 32 with a buddy boat, Karma. We traveled 16 miles and spent a chilly night anchored just outside of St. Augustine. The next morning we made our way to a mooring ball in St. Augustine for 2 nights.
Paul and Trish drove over for one last visit before we move further south. We also enjoyed dinner with Karma at Harry's Seafood. After dinner at Harry's we made our way to Meehin's Irish Pub where I tried my first Red Ale, Smithwick's. It was really good! Great company and food!
We departed St. Augustine Saturday the 18th and made our way to Palm Coast Marina for an overnight at the dock. This was the first 70 degree day we've seen for awhile. Sunday morning we woke to a Severe Thunderstorm as a cold front made it's way south. The cold is following us!
We departed Palm Coast Marina for 45 mile ride to an anchorage in New Smyrna Beach. It was a 41 degree windy night at anchor and Bill had to take anchor watch from 3:30 to 5:30. We slept in until 8 and shortly after pulled up the anchor making our way to Titusville where we have a dock reservation for the night at Titusville Marina where we watched the Buckeyes win the National Championship! GO BUCKS!!
Tuesday 1/21 we departed Titusville Marina for a 41 mile ride to Melborne Harbor Marina. We were lucky to have secured a dock in this small but well protected marina with a great restaurant called Ichabod's to hide from the 30 mph winds.
After 2 nights and the winds not subsiding we decided to go ahead and make our way to Vero Beach Thursday morning. It was still a cold, rainy and windy day. Vero Beach City Marina put us on the Fuel Dock. We did take advantage of the free public transit system and rode the bus to Walmart for a few things.
Friday we departed Vero Beach and arrived in Ft. Pierce for 2 nights. We were assigned a dock on pier E, right next to a DeFever; Mystic. We met the owners in Sandusky a couple of years ago when they were prepping for their southern voyage and they have been living aboard Mystic for 3 years now going back and forth from Florida and the Bahamas. It was great to run into them again.
Saturday brough lots of sun which we haven't seen much of and it warmed up to 70. The marina was buzzing with a really nice farmers market. We enjoyed some treats and the live music while we soaked up some sun! Later in the afternoon Saturday Karma came in for a dock. We met up with them for dinner at Cobbs Landing.
Great farmers market with live music!
Sunday morning we left Ft. Pierce headed to Safe Harbor Harborage in Stuart where Ashley, Hanna and Toulouse joined us for 2 weeks. We had a great time going to the beach, enjoying great food and a lot of relaxing.
