It took a few days to get a mooring ball in Stuart. It had been highly recommended to us as being both inexpensive and relatively safe in terms of crime.I was not in shape to go car touring so we used the time to enjoy the company of others in the anchorage and to prepare the boat for our absence. We also broke down and bought a slightly used inflatable and outboard.
Beverley also fished, landing a pretty impressive catfish. It was both meaty and delicious.
The return to winter has been a climatic shock.
As our friend Gerry is fond of pointing out, the problem with retirement is that you never get a day off. Our return to the frozen North is our sabbatical from our adventure. It is always nice to have a change, it is nice to see friends and family, but I am very much looking forward to our return to warmth, sunshine and the boating lifestyle.
