Sadly, we take our good friend Peter back to the airport today. Crew Istaboa has really enjoyed his company.
Pete, we hope for you a speedy and complete recovery... Until next time, Adios.
So now we are poring over weather prediction sites and wave heights in the Gulf Stream. We're starting to feel the itch to put some blue water under Istaboa.
Came across this little YouTube and thought some of you may not have seen it. It will make you smile.
Chances are you have viewed it; it has had over 34 million hits.
We apologize to our cruising buddies in the islands where internet bandwidth is slim to none. But, Hey!... You guys should be enjoying the island life and not surfing the net. So we don't feel too bad.
For you lucky souls out there anchored out from some remote little island, open a cold Kalik or Redstripe and let the video buffer up. It will make you smile even more.
The sun was out, the wind was light, and the St. Lucie was flat. Sounds like a perfect day to take out the Albury for lunch up in the Manatee Pocket.
Captain Spooner is in town and wanted to see the Hinckley Yard, so off we went. After tooling around and salivating over the Hinckleys, we motored over to lunch at Finz.
Yes Tracey, ... this time I had the Mussels and they were great.
After lunch the 3 of us buzzed over to Wahoo's for a quick beer before heading home.
Another good day amongst many. Pete had a great time.
Also an interesting video on page 2.
Experience what it might be like to go on an expedition to Antarctica through this amazing video journey.
First saw this in it's early stages of construction at a ship yard in Mobile Bay a few years ago. Guess they have finally finished it.
More pics of the Navy's newest ship.... Here
Not a lot going here in Stuart... Took Mel into Ft. Lauderdale to meet a couple of old friends who have a layover in FLL. Flight Attendant reunion at Karen's.
I drove her down, then Will and I went to South Port Raw Bar for lunch. My favorite pup in Fort Lauderdale. Good pub-grub, great view.
When we got home one of the marina guys told me Radar had a package in the office... His new Raincoat had arrived.
He doesn't appear to care for it, but he probably will on the next cold and rainy day. We shall see.
As I said; not much going on here. But, this weekend is the Stuart Boat Show which may be interesting. Again, we shall see.
Pam, Bernie, Mel, Radar (with our old Sadie in the background), and Charlie at the Garbonzo Reef Bar... May 07
Heard through the grapevine that our buddy Bernie was in town. Called and sure enough, he is. So we made plans to pick him up in the Albury the next day and find lunch somewhere.
It was a bit puffy, but we decided it was good enough. The Dolphin Bar was the destination.
Bernie and his wife Pam are friends we first met in the Abacos, we run across each other often and have visited them at their place in Teluride, Colorado. We always find a way to have fun. We're looking forward to hangin out with these guys while they're here in Stuart.
