Shortly after departure, the sun disappeared and the cold winds increased. Showers came intermittently and the skies were heavily overcast. Pete was glad he had the "Ambrosia Enclosure," as he has taking to calling it.
Sebastian Inlet has a lot of small boat traffic. The big boats heading south were very considerate of the cruisers as well as the locals. Thankfully, PEKABU picked up speed with the currents south of the inlet.
He arrived at Fort Pierce around 4. Surprisingly, he was placed on a T-Dock. It has a great view to the east and the ICW, just a long walk to the facilities. The cruisers on another boat helped Pete with the single-handed docking. Since he had already set the lines for docking, all they had to do was reach on the deck for the lines.
Once secure, Pete's USCG, fleece jacket started a conversation. The 3 of them were retired Navy and USCG. Told him to stop by when he has a chance.
PEKABU will be staying here for the next 2 months. Pete is happy to be staying put for a while. We were hoping Bailey and I would be joining him soon, but we are now in a holding pattern, waiting to find out what Debi's next steps will be.
