Back on the ICW fro a week!
Our winter respite in Florida has been interrupted by flights back to Annapolis for work, doctor's appointments, volunteer activity and grandkid duties. It is all good. The winter has been mild in Maryland and going to the cold reminds you why you are in Florida anyway. On our last flight down we went from around 32 degrees as we boarded an early morning flight to 82 degrees when we landed in Florida.
This trip down was the start of an actual cruise on the boat. We are in Ft. Pierce as I type. Having not moved the boat for four months, since arriving in Florida via the ICW, I was happy to see all systems working just fine. The trip from Stuart to Ft.Pierce was just 90 minutes but it was great to be back on the water navigating.
We have friends with a new to them boat, a Jenneau Nc 895. They were anxious to use her and so we devised a week long cruise up the ICW to Cocoa and back. Last evening we had dinner with them and another couple, friends who live in Ft. Pierce. We enjoyed a nice meal at the Second Street Cafe and a good time was had by all.
