Jensen Beach an Ft. Pierce
We ended spending two nights at Jensen Beach. The mooring field has one glaring deficiency, no protection at all from the south. Of course we had steady, strong winds from the SSE the whole two days. Never went ashore, just sat on the boat and bounced.
We left the mooring field on Friday and motored up to Ft. Pierce. We originally planned to anchor in Faber Cove but at the last minute decided to take a slip at the City Marina.
When we called, they weren't sure they could find us a spot. They called back and said they could.
The entrance to the marina is very tricky as there is a strong cross current. Once inside the breakwater, the current was gone and we had no trouble. At first the put us on a fixed dock that was so high above our deck, we couldn't get off the boat! They moved us to a floating face dock which has worked out fine.
Friday evening the city puts on a Friday fest with music, food and vendors. I bought Bev a new sundress. We got some food and spent an hour or so listening to the music and browsing.
The next morning we went to the Farmers market. Had a great Danish and scone for breakfast from the bakers. Bought some fresh fruit and veggies and a whole pound of pecans to add to our homemade trail mix.
The music that morning was a guy named Johnny Debt. (Like Johnny Cash but with no money. ) He's a great guitar player who plays drums with his feet while picking a storm on the guitar. We found out he was playing again on Sunday at the ciderworks so we went there too. Had a pint of coconut cider. Actually pretty tasty.
We ended up staying a night longer than planned. Going to walk down6for a bit, visit the Sailfish Brewery and head up the ditch tomorrow.

Memorial Day
After a relatively uneventful evening in Lake Sylvia, (we went hard aground for about a hour) we motored past 15 bridges to the anchorage in Lantana. We planned to leave the next day but an episode of AFib kept us there one more night.
So now it's Sunday morning on the holiday weekend. Yuck. Crazies everywhere throwing wakes. Fast boats passing us on both sides simultaneously, making it impossible to turn into the wakes. Some boaters can be real %$#holes, if you get my drift.
When we passed the inlet at Lake Worth, things got really crazy. Hundreds of small boats anchored around Peanut Island, even some in the channel, between the channel markers. Swimmers in the water, PWCs everywhere. One PWC kept drifting under our bow, hiding from my view from the helm. I throttled back to slow down and let him get farther away, but he throttled back and stayed under our bow. We were trying to transit a bridge so couldn't move to the side. We finally cleared the bridge without killing him when a cop came along and issued him a ticket.
We were very grateful to make it into Old Port Cove marina. We planned two nights here to avoid a more travel on the holiday. After a shopping expedition, laundry and happy hour at Belle's, we were tired and decided to extend one more day.
Tomorrow Jensen Beach.
