It's easy to see how this marina got it's name. This is the evening view off our bow.Sunset Bay Marina is only about a year old and is a great spot for cruisers and liveaboards. As much as we loved Fort Pierce, there was no sense of community among the boaters, as most of the boats were just being stored and those with people on them were usually only there for a night or two. Sunset Bay has an awesome boating community. we have already met lots of great people from all over. There's a boaters' "happy hour" every Tuesday and Thursday. Bring your drinks and a snack to share, hang out and gab with other boaters for a couple of hours. There's also a huge grill right there that anyone can use anytime. People also get together for coffee up there each morning - haven't done that yet since we've usually hit our caffeine limit an hour before that. The marina also has a beautiful boaters' lounge with a large book exchange (leave one, take one).
One really fun thing that happened was last Sunday after we arrived. We went to dinner at the restaurant here at the marina. We got seated, started looking around, and in less than a minute saw Bob & Mary McKee, who had been our next door dock neighbors in Titusville last fall! That's one of the great things about this lifestyle - you make friends and while you have to say goodbye alot, you run into people again in different places and it's like having a family reunion!
