Harbortown Marina
"The sea is calling and
I must go.”
We did an over nighter from
Rockport, Texas to Ft. Pierce, Florida...almost 1300 miles. We left Texas Pearl Friday morning and drove
back to Port Lavaca, rented a car and then went to our home and loaded up. Our plan
was to drive part way on Friday, spend the night somewhere and then come to the
boat on Saturday afternoon, but plans have a way of changing. We were ahead of
a front moving across the country and wanted to stay ahead of the rain...so we
just kept moving.
We arrived in Ft. Pierce just
in time for a nice breakfast at Importico’s Bakery & Cafe and a quick look
at the Ft. Pierce Farmers Market. We definitely would have spent more time and
enjoyed the market more if we weren't so tired. We still had a lot of work to
do at the boat before we could relax, so we unloaded the car and began the job
of getting The Pearl ready for our
trip south. I spent the rest of the day getting things stowed while Stan took
care of a few things in the engine room.
Sunday was a little more
relaxing, although we still had a lot of work to do. Today was cleaning
day...inside, outside and underneath! We had a diver clean the bottom and the
running gear. Now we’re ready to move on to the Keys! By lunch we were looking great and could actually
sit back and watch the action in the marina. The birds, the people, the fish
and the manatees were very entertaining. The Harbor Cove Bar and Grill is close to the
boat and we were able to sit on our deck and listen to the music and watch the
sunset. Life at the moment is good.
