Change of plans - and more pics from Ft Pierce

Neat "Ft Pierce, FL" sign - recycled items

Mr. Manatee putting the finishing touches on his landscape.....

More sculptures - they are so cool.

Traveling along the ICW

This little shrimpboat is not going anywhere
Just outside Shrimpers Raw Bar and Gill

Inside Shrimpers - very cool place

Here are some more pictures from Ft Pierce - we really enjoyed our stay there.  Hopefully we'll make it back next Spring and hit the Farmers Market.

We have another change in plans - like I always say - our plans are always made in sand.....

Anyway, we changed our minds about traveling the Okeechobee Waterway and then going down the west coast of Florida to the Keys.  Instead, we are going to continue down the east coast of Florida on down to Marathon.  Due to time constraints and in order to save a little money - it's the best way to go.  We had hoped to make it over to the west coast and then on up to Venice for a week or so.  Sorry, Jeff and Linda - we'll have to wait to see you guys in December when you make it to Marathon.

We still plan to be at Sombrero (Dockside) Marina for November, December and January.  We look forward to meeting up with some old friends.  We also are looking forward to making new ones.

We left Ft Pierce this morning and are currently on the hook in the Manatee Pocket near Stuart. We had a great day along the ICW.  We took the dinghy over to Shrimpers Raw Bar and Grill for Happy Hour.  Neat place. 

We are going to stay here on the hook for a few days.  We spoke to Jerry and Jenny of "SweetGrass" who are currently in Miami and are heading north back home to Charleston.  It looks like they will be able to meet us here in the Manatee Pocket on Thursday.  It will be really good to see them and catch up on everything. 

Till next time!
