North Palm Beach to Ft. Pierce


Still cannot believe we are doing the Great Loop!

In 2009, Katherine, Andrew and Becky (daughter, son, and daughter-in-law) gave us for Christmas a book about the Great Loop. See below their wishes for us to follow our dream!

We are finally making this happen! This morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise in North Palm Beach, then journeyed through Jupiter and Hobe Sound.

The homes on the Intracoastal!

Today we traveled 43 nautical miles over six hours, averaging 7.0 knots. We settled into the Ft. Pierce Municipal Marina around 2:30 p.m.

Tomorrow we head to Melbourne, where we will anchor out. Tuesday we head to Titusville; Wednesday to New Smyrna; Thursday to Palm Coast, and Friday, we hope to be in St. Augustine, where we will spend the weekend. We haven’t been to St. Augustine since 2004, when we celebrated my 50th birthday there.

Here are some photos from our stay in Ft. Pierce.
