Leaving Fort Pierce (by Jim)

We left Fort Pierce on April 7th and did a 90 mile, 9.5 hour run all the way to Titusville. The weather was just perfect for traveling and we had a wonderful day. Blazer needs to go to the vet, Jim needs to go to the doctor and we need to reprovision before heading for the Carolinas.

As usual we had several dolphin following in our wake!

Saturday Mornings in Fort Pierce (by Paula)

We love Saturday mornings in Fort Pierce.  Today we were greeted, as we are almost daily here, by an absolutely beautiful sunrise.  Easy to see why Fort Pierce is called the "Sunrise City"! 

After coffee and breakfast, we walked to the other side of the marina while admiring a picture perfect clear blue sky.

Next to the marina is THE BEST farmer's market in the world!  Tons of great produce and other foods, live music and dancing every week, loads of interesting people and an equally large arts & crafts market across the parking lot.  All right on the waterfront. 

 It is simply THE BEST!

Some of our loot from this morning.  Fresh pineapple, a huge Florida sweet onion, Plant City (FL)strawberries,  Winter Haven (FL) blueberries, and locally grown yellow squash and zucchini.

 YUM!

  Hey!!  Just what part of "No Wake Zone" don't you understand?!?!?!

Her Royal Highness, Blazer

Hello.  My name is Blazer and I live on a boat.  I like it just fine most of the time, as I have two servants aboard to cater to my every whim at any time of the day or night.  Let's get one thing clear right now - a lot of people who see me seem to think I'm overweight.  I prefer to think of myself as fluffy.  Nuff said!!  Anyway, now that I have introduced myself properly, I will, from time to time, be posting pictures and snippets of information about my lifestyle on this blog.  Thank you and have a nice day.

Gifts from the Sea (by Paula)

One of the "joys" of boating is waking up in the morning to find that a night heron has used the bow of your boat for romantic moonlight patio dining.

Happy Anniversary (by Paula)

March 10th was our 4th wedding anniversary.  Jim totally surprised me by having these beautiful roses delivered to the marina here in Fort Pierce.  Sorry, but I just had to show them off!

Friends come to visit (by Jim)

One of the really cool things about cruising is hooking up again with friends we have met along the way. These are our friends Bud and Elaine who we met last year in Georgia. They are stopping here in Fort Pierce to visit for the day. Paula was able to get this picture as they came into the marina.
