Day 140: We Made a Good Decision

Pendarvis Cove, Stuart, FL (anchored)

June 4, 2022

The track of the storm must have changed while we were sleeping. We had some rain overnight but no significant winds. By the time we woke up, we were starting to see some tiny breaks in the clouds.

By the time lunch was through, we felt comfortable taking the dinghy across the channel to walk around Stuart. Kudos to the town of Stuart for having a great dinghy dock with lots of cleats for us to use!

Downtown Stuart is a few blocks of shops (including at least two ice cream/gelato stores) and restaurants that’s very welcoming. There’s also a riverwalk that skirts the town and includes a walking tunnel under the railroad bridge.

There are about a million lizards and iguanas in Stuart. They’re just everywhere!

Nice to see the sun again

We will pull up anchor in the morning and head north to Vero Beach where we hope to get a mooring buoy. SV Wild has been sending some pictures of the area and it looks like a place we would like to explore.

Clouds are coming back with some drizzle, maybe, but we are out of the storm
