Here it is Wednesday, May 11 -- a week since we leave Marathon! We've had simply gorgeous weather, Ivory Lady is behaving like a Lady and the Captain & Admiral are enjoying life to its fullest!
Today was another "slow day" with many no wake zones for manatee, so the 34 miles took us almost 4 hours. Lots of good memories in these parts, as this is where we found Ivory Lady just over a year ago!! As we came through Jupiter, we again marvel at the beauty of their lighthouse.
We are now at Harbour Ridge (clubhouse on left), up the north fork of the St. Lucie River, with a cold iced tea in one hand and a good book in the other!!
Tomorrow we head out early -- in hopes of making the 7:30a or 8:15a bridge opening @ Dixie Highway -- otherwise, we're there until after 9a, due to limited openings during rush hour.
Destination tomorrow is The Moorings Yacht Club in Vero Beach, about 45 miles. We visited there on the way down last fall and it is a FABULOUS facility, thanks to hurricane insurance!! We'll be there for the weekend for the FCYC (Florida Council of Yacht Clubs) meeting, where we'll be joined with our great friends, Willy & Caryn Bain, along with Tom & Marie, Joe & June and Tony from our Marathon Yacht Club family! Lots of fun to be had -- more later, dear friends!
"Fond" memories of the inaugural cruise of Serenity breaking down @ that lighthouse! LOL
