A month in Stuart Florida at Loggerhead Marina

The Orinoco and crew are on the move again after a fun time with friends in Stuart, Florida.  We enjoyed the friends from the Royal Marsh Harbour Yacht Club in the Bahamas and now half of them spend winters in Stuart, FL.

friends for 9 years in the
Bahamas and here in FL

Three times a week Patty participated in water aerobics with Judy Law as the instructor.  We had a nice heated pool there at the marina with a hot tub also to soothe our tired muscles.  Patty also walked every day with the Maggi 2-4 miles.  So a good month of nice weather and physical activities to get in shape.

Very good seats thanks to my friend Kim.  Close to Molina.

Robert and I went to two Spring Training Baseball games in Jupiter and the Cardinals won both times.  My friend Susan Carastro who is a veterinarian and owns several clinics in the area got an appointment with one of her vets who is a dermatologist.  Maggi developed a skin irritation and scabs but found out it was a bacteria and she got some antibiotics to clear it up.  Thanks to Susan who is an air racer with her mother every year.  Last year the Three Musketeer Air Race Team beat them by a few seconds for the first time ever.

Caloosahatchee River on the way to Ft. Myers from Moore Haven.







We saw several alligators along the river beside the low banks in the bushes.  Maggi stayed close to us on the boat.  We also saw many beautiful dolphins close to Ft. Myers.
