Now we have it all - boat, camper/van, bicycles - and of
course we can provision and travel without using dinghy and/or walking. Nice.
Moved the boat up the St. Lucie River (aka Okeechobee
Waterway) this morning. Five
miles. One hour. Easy motoring.
Now docked up at American Custom Yachts, east of Stuart, between the
I-95 freeway and Florida's (not so free) Turnpike. Arranged for mechanics to finally find and fix the damn
fresh water leak next week.
Taxied to Indiantown and retrieved our van / camper. Checked
out of the Indiantown Marina, said goodbye to some of the people who work there
- we will miss the sailing community there, a little - but needed to find a
place that can and will actually do the boat repairs we need. Closed the
Indiantown climate-controlled storage locker and rented another, closer to this
new boatyard.
This weekend we get to transfer stuff from the boat to the
locker or the van. Then haulout
sometime next week, and we become full-time RVers. Checked out the local campgrounds - a couple of nice ones
ashore at the St. Lucie Lock.
We can sleep in our van (or boat) here at ACY, until
haulout. Accessible 24/7, locked
and guardhoused gate. It's a boatyard, not a marina.
Today we motored (van, not boat) to Publix, etc. Restocked
with beer, bought a challah - and hauled it home really easily. This having wheels can really spoil us;
forgot how easy people ashore have it.
