Saturday April 7: Ft. Pierce, FL

It was an early morning departure from our Manatee Pocket anchorage as the winds were forecast to pick up throughout the day. As we were leaving, we encountered what appeared to be a boat with about a dozen swimmers behind it. I wasn't sure if it was a marathon swim or what -- turns out it was a bunch of pelicans following a live bait boat! Remember - it was early in the day :-) Fortunately the bridges in this part of Florida are all very tall so no need to be on constant alert for the next bridge and whether or not we could fit under it. After we arrived at Ft. Pierce Marina, we found out it was Friday Fest - right next to the marina!

The park and waterfront is really nice with a fun sculpture. Very pleasant day but very windy as predicted. We were happy to be tied to a dock :-) Steve was enjoying his fish taco as we waited for the band to start: Moon Shadow. They were very good so we sat with Peter and Cheryl and enjoyed the music. Plus: another great sunset over the marina.

Up early this morning to walk through the Farmer's Market - again right next to the marina!! Steve was in search of red peppers (which he found) so he could make the great chili (recipe provided via Rebecca via Wendy) for dinner tonight. After breakfast this morning, we were tempted to take the "handle" off of the restroom door and bring it back for Peter. One of his paddles bounced out of his dinghy (he pulls it behind the boat), we passed it - remarking that someone lost a paddle. Little did we know it was Peter's paddle -- sad that we didn't stop and pick it up. Don't know what we were thinking .....

A bit later today: Oyster Fest - again right near the marina - complete with a band in the bandstand. What a place this is! It will definitely be on the list of places to which we will return :-)
