Alan and Pattti took us to PetSmart, Publix and West Marine. Chuck and Alan went to a few other stores while we grocery shopped.
We spent the day touring Stuart, first by car and then walked around a bit. Patti and Wayne went out to dinner with Bill and Connie and we went out to eat with our hosts. Dinner was at Prawnbrokers and, boy, was it delicious. One of the best meals I've had this trip. We will definitely go back there.
I ordered a coconut shrimp appetizer with raspberry sauce that we all enjoyed. Chuck ordered that as his entree. I had the recommendation from our waitress...red snapper with sun-dried tomatoes with a light cream sauce, garlic-mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. It was absolutely delicious!
Our hosts were disappointed that we didn't take advantage of the guest bedrooms they readied for us. Maybe on the way back north.
Winds were only 5 knots so no sails. We have seven bridges today. Half open on hour and half hour, others are fixed.
We saw Bill Cornell at our dock at Mariner's Cay...former owner of Cornell's Auto Body in Egg Harbor City. He was on a beautiful Viking. He is good friends with Nelson Post who was best man at our wedding. Small world!
I'm still typing with one hand. Lots of swelling, but I have some knuckle definition today and can move my fingers.
We anchored in Lake Worth right off West Palm Beach. It was a beautiful Florida sunshine-filled day. Temperature was mid-70s.
The Bumms are at Peanut Island about a quarter mile north so they can dinghy Sailor to shore.
Glad you're on the mend, Kath! How are you and Chuck feeling about the trip overall so far? And when/where do you make the jump over to the Bahamas? --Steve
ReplyDeleteOverall, it's been great but some very stressful moments with hand and dog problems. Going to the Keys for the holidays, then back up to cross after first of yr. to Bahamas.
