We've been in Fort Pierce for a couple of days and are already really enjoying being back here! They are having jazz music in the park next to the marina every day from 11:00am to 2:00pm. We can hear it plainly right here on the boat. We went for a nice walk yesterday and got to meet Jim, the man who owns the "printing press mailbox" that we took pictures of last March when we were here. What an interesting story he had about the press. The only problem was that he wanted us to take half of his junk mail with us!
We got a pretty good location in the marina, our bow is pointing right out the entrance channel. It was a real chore getting into this slip though, the slip is only 16ft wide and our boat is 15ft wide. Wind was at 15 mph and gusting to 20-25 when we came in. When I turned the boat around to back into the slip we ended up sideways to the wind. That made it a major pain to get into the narrow slip. Had to lean on one of the posts pretty hard to get the boat to turn. After that we slid right in with no problem.
Today we got to see the finished product on several old houses that were being restored when we were here last, wish now that we had taken some pictures so we could do a before and after thing.
