West Palm Beach is newly designed. The Shopping Center is planned very well and functions well. The new Court House is large. If you look closely through the arch you can see the old CourtHouse, very much smaller. We guess that there are more criminals nowadays! Palm Beach, across the river claims to be the … More Palm Beach
We anchored at a State Park on Jupiter Island. It is nice to be in nature for a change. This part of the Island can be reached by boat only. The Mangrove Swamp is beautiful and there are a lot of examples of various trees. A boardwalk takes you over water, through the mangrove swamp and … More Jupiter Island
Stuart’s Sunday Green Market is a bit disappointing. Not many vegetables and fruits but the bread and quiche are very delicious. There were beautiful vases I want to collect, but it is not wise to have heavy things in the boat. Adam, my (Lee) son seems to be doing very well. From his last text … More Homesick!
We are anchoring for several nights in Stuart Anchorage. It is well protected but speeding power boats are making a lot of wake. When that happens the boat is rocking for a while continuously. Meanwhile we bought a new crab trap, a spring opening affair, for all of $6 and tried catch some crab without any … More Stuart
Today Jan 4th is the Birthday of Peter’s late son, Joe. We bought two roses and carry them around everywhere to the Library and Shopping. The longer we carry them around the harder it is to let go. It seems like he is with us all the time. Last year we threw the flowers into … More Peter
New years Eve, we went to a Dinner Theater to enjoy entertainment and to greet 2016. We sat at the big social table. The food was very good and the songs sung by powerful Singers were good too. Everybody was very curious about our trip since they are mostly from Florida. On New Years Day … More Happy New Year from Vero Beach
The big job to replace the front window is done and 2 overhead hatches are done. We can see clearly out to the water from the bed. Peter has been working every morning. It is satisfying to do the work on the boat assuming there will be no leaks. We are in Eau Gallie protected … More Eau Gallie
We have been cruising now for 2 1/2 months. It is more relaxing and productive than we imagined and we find time to do things we like. Peter has started playing guitar again. Because it is so pleasurable and relaxing we are beginning to consider extending our two year plan. Christmas time is for family … More Merry Christmas
Cocoa is a really quaint town. The historical society preserved the original town plan and the modern car oriented part is well blended with the original town. A lot of antique shops and specialty shops are designed well with gardens. It is Melbourne! Any Snowbird (people in boats who winter in the south and summer … More Cocoa and Melbourne
Notes from Lee. It has been two months now since we left New York. It is amazing that we are now accustomed to the cruising life. As far as my painting goes, I am completely settled down now. I have been painting everyday from 8:30 AM until 12:30 PM. It works fine for Peter and … More New Painting
