We have been in Stuart for a little over one week enjoying the sights and supposedly warmer weather. But some cold fronts have moved in with a vengeance. Even the locals are bundling up with the below freezing temps. At least the sun during the day warms it up a bit. And the weekend is looking good with warmer air moving in.
We have started repairs and upgrades on Soteria as the wallet allows. Bikes have been ordered and should be arriving within the next week. Walking has been the mode of transportation lately, but the 2-3 mile hikes are wearing on my feet!
The brightwork is progressing as warm sunny days allow. At least the bulk of the paint has worn off, making the sanding easier. Photos will be forthcoming. The traveler will have to wait until we figure out how the old track was attached and how we can attach a new one. No way we can put a new car on the older track.The old alcohol stove will be coming out, replaced with shelving for a microwave or toaster oven and more storage.
One of the best things about the marina has been the fellowship of other sailors, both sail and power. We have been blessed with new friends who are willing to share their experiences and knowledge with us and other "newbies". Makes us realize just how much we still need to learn.
Until next time, fair winds and warm days to all.
Getting bikes sounds like a great idea. I hope you will have enough electricity for a microwave or toaster oven.
