Our Fleet is scheduled to arrive today, but the day did not start out as planned. Our first communication was at 7:28 am from Brunelle: “WE’RE STUCK and low tide is at 9:30. . . . “ They needed to winch themselves out of their slip at the Marriott Hotel & Marina in Port St. Lucie. Brunelle continue to fight through the mud in the fairways until almost noon! Andiamo had spend the night at the gas dock as they were unable to make it into the slip due to the “skinny waters” and waited patiently as Dan and Martha probably invented some new words as they worked to free Brunelle. While all this drama is being played out in the muck, Glen and Maureen of Sevilla are slowly making their way south hoping the others will catch up before long.
Since we will probably be underway tomorrow, we use today to finish up the laundry and complete a few projects. Pete was able to install the Wifi antenna, but needed me to get down into the sugar spoon to help secure it. Unfortunately the 5 minutes turned into 45 minutes, which usually is not a problem except we were doing dinner for the eight of us and needed to shop before I cooked. They arrived just after the marina office closed so we helped everyone secure and get settled. Dinner was nothing fancy, but it was great to be together again.
Since some engine maintenance needs to be done on all boats, another day will be spent here at Lake Park Harbor Marina. It will also give Maureen another day to recuperate. She is under the weather with a really bad cold or flu.
