It is unbelievable that May is now here! The time is flying and we feel we are in a weird limbo. The dock is empty except for Dave from SV Cecilia, and us. Even the sad, blue canvas-trimmed sailboat that the birds have amply decorated over the past 4 months, has left.
I have been taking Tillie for her walks. We are averaging almost 3 miles a day between the morning and afternoon walks. I know why my allergies have been so preverlent. There are a lot of things in bloom. From ground cover, to various palm trees, to roses.
Hairy Beggarsticks, ??? and ???

We skipped the Farmer’s Market. I don’t think Pete is up to all that walking yet. We are seeing improvements daily in his stamina and strength. Today he used his energy quotient to give Tillie a good combing and bath in anticipation of grooming her tomorrow.
Trees and bushes are recovering from the frosts and a Dwarf Date Palm is flowering
It has been almost 2 months since Tillie’s last grooming. The hair around her eyes have been trimmed twice, so that she can see. We know that her “bangs” are getting too long when we toss a treat and she can’t catch it! It is mind-boggling how quickly her hair grows and the amount we shave off. Pete swears that the rapid growth diminishes her brain function.

We cleaned the enclosure, dried and packaged it. From the "free table" I was able to get 2 large well structured sail bags. They are perfect to place the enclosure into once it was rolled around fenders. Had to partially clear out the aft cabin to place the enclosure into our “storage area onboard” and put everything back. However, we could not find the awning. It is not in the vacuum bag in the aft cabin, which is where it is usually kept. Pete found it in the starboard lazarette in a black garbage bag. Very unsure of the hows and whys that might have happened. I probably was in a rush and did it as a temporary measure. Pretty sure it was Me BAD!
Yep. There be storms
Oh Yea. . . It is also Love Bug season. These buggers remain attached after mating and appear in the thousands, causing big dark clouds in areas, expecially along the Florida Turnpike. I have only driven though it once. All the rest areas have a car windshield washdown area that allows you to once again see through most of the windshield rather than the minute spaces between all the smashed bugs! This truck definately came though one of those swarms. YUCK!!!

I spent most of the day working on April’s blog. The written part is complete, but the photos need to be processed. I am getting better at weeding out the dups and choosing which photos tell the best story.
Pete sat up in cockpit and read while Tillie kept him company. Awnings are making both up above and down below more comfortable. The sun is always intense in the non-winter months. I am not complaining. It is just an observation. However, as we enjoy the warmth, the middle and northern states are getting whiplash from the incredible temperature swings.

Heat & humidity are building. I will have to walk earlier. The breezes arrive in the afternoons, but the temps are high and the sun is still very intense.
I finished and posted April’s blog. It was a challenge to sum up the events and keep it kind of light. I think, and Pete agreed, I did good!
There has been a sailing ketch in the slip on the inside of the T-head. He arrived while the CCK was taking place last month. I finally met Perceval this morning. He seems nice, but with the heat, everyone hibernates. He will be here until January.
We are falling back into the rhythm of being on board again, but the vibe is so different with everyone gone except for Submariner Dave and Perceval.

Big storms slipping to our south
Thursday, 5/14/26 ~
It was a beautiful day after storms we had on Tuesday & Wednesday. Once back from one of his check-ups, Pete read for a while in the cockpit.
Around 9:30 pm, while watching TV, we heard a loud bang on cabin top. It was definitely the sort of sound that needed investigation. It didn’t sound like a boat hitting ours, or fish slapping against the hull trying to escape the predators, or a bang against the dock due to a gust of wind. Upon further investigation, we found an 8-inch crab carapace dropped from the top of the mast by our newest tenant - the osprey. The only meat still on the crab was in the legs. S/he is not intimidated by any of our attempts to dislodge her! Unfortunately, with the blue-canvased sailboat gone, we have been adopted. So, s/he is also redecorating our canvas!

Here is the big news around town. It has taken 3 years, but it was completed on time.
From the TC Palm:
From the TC Palm:
The new North Causeway Bridge, designated by the state legislature as the E.C. Summerlin Family Bridge, officially opens, May 15, 2026, in Fort Pierce. It replaces the D.H. 'Banty' Saunders Bridge, (named after David Howard Saunders who was a state representative in 1945, a Fort Pierce City commissioner, and a lumberman for 40 years.) The drawbridge built in 1963, was deemed to be in poor condition by the Florida Department of Transportation. The fixed span bridge, which is expected to cost $111.5 million when complete, is the tallest on the Treasure Coast. After the new bridge opens, the existing drawbridge will be closed permanently to traffic and demolished as part of the final phase of work. Construction on the new bridge continues through late 2027.

Lots of folks enjoying the beautiful day on the water.
We have been sitting onboard for a while. We decided to go for a ride and wound up heading north on 1A from Riviera Beach. It gave us a chance to pass Juno Beach in Jupiter. I had heard that it is one of the mosts beautiful in Florida. As we were passing many of the frost damaged Sea Grape trees, we could see the spectacular turquoise blue peeking through the trees. Pete stopped so I could check it out. Definately beautiful!
Definately reminds me of the waters around Bermuda

We moved our “storage” from the aft cabin onto our bed forward, prior to mechanic’s arrival. They freed up the engine for tomorrow’s removal. In the meantime, we headed to the Jetty so that we were out of their way. The only thing I didn’t remember to do was to take lunch to take with us. It turns out, I don’t need to. It took them 2.5 hours. They were done before lunch! (Interesting, Deltaville charged us for 15 hours, or was it 20?! At this point, I don’t want to ask Pete.)
Views from our spot at the Jetty
Last week, Pete had arranged with TowBoat for the tow to Cracker Boys, but yesterday the manager called about the tow. They had no information. Did we fill out the request on line? No, but we arranged it directly through the dispatcher. He took all the information and told us we would be called. He said he would get the info from dispatch. Everything looked good to go.
On our way back to the boat, Pete received a call from TowBoat. This person called and told us that there was a problem. There was no info for the tow. Pete tried to explain his call with the dispatcher, when he was interrupted with “Cracker Boys had no record of you.” Pete tried again to explain when he rudely informed Pete that he was supposed to have called Cracker Boys to arrange everything. Pete started to explain again, but the guy just hung up! Needless to say, Pete anger began to climb, too. Pete then spoke with our mechanic, who said “well yeah, you were supposed to call and arrange it”, which we didn’t know and of course it then fell between the cracks. Aah …OK. However, he also stated the Cracker Boys will not pull the engine when the boat is in the well. The boat has to come out of the water. BIG PROBEM! Pete informed him we don’t want to be out of the water. We can’t function that way with a dog, no air conditioning, no power, no water, no sanitation. We need to be in the water. He said using just the haulout well would still be doable if we took the boat to Harbortown Marina. They should be able to have a crane come in and pull the engine and let it be on our way back to the slip. OK - Harbortown called. Yes there’s $175 fee for using the well - bill paid, reservation made. Then called Mike’s Crane. Mike was great. He said there was a $600 fee for the crane and he could arrange to be available tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday. Called back mechanics. They said fine. They’ll meet us there at noon tomorrow, which was the time that the crane operator suggested since that’s when the folks at Harbortown are at lunch. The well is normally available. So, we’re still gonna have the engine removed tomorrow. Fingers crossed that the timing works out and no more surprises!
The TowBoat manager called back after we rearranged all this. TowBoat insurance will only cover a tow one way. We would have to pay for the return trip since we will not have an engine to propel us back to our slip. The cost is about $800. After this discussion, Pete checked with SeaTow and they said IF they had a boat in the area, they would be able to do it in less than an hour for $375. OK…. Pete looked into SeaTow membership and found that they will not cover an arranged tow for 30 days after the membership has begun. So that ain’t gonna work. Pete arranged with the mechanic and kept TowBoat for the tow for tomorrow.
PHEW! With everything arranged, we read for a while before heading over to La Quinta Inn for the night. We picked up sandwiches on our way. There was no way we could say on board for the evening with our bed piled high with everything from the aft cabin.

We were up, Tillie walked, all of us fed and out by 9:30. It gave us time to take down the awning, dodger and connector. The lines were marked with Zipties so that we will be able to quickly reset the lines when we return. Additional lines were readied for securing PEKABU in the well at Harbortown Marina. We were just about set for the 11 o’clock arrival of TowBoat. He called at 10:30, sitting in the main fairway, asking just where in the marina we are. He tied up to us as we disconnected the electrical & and undid the lines. Once he backed us out of the slip, he continued on his course. PEKABU traveled forward while TowBoat make the trip over and back - totally in reverse!
Tillie and I drove over to the marina and only waited about 15 minutes until they arrived. The well is definitely used for hauling boats onto and from the yard. There were only 2 cleats! I was able to secure PEKABU and the TowBoat using the rear cleat and a piling midway in the well. We still had 40 minutes until Mike’s Crane was due to arrive.
The mechanics arrived about 11:45 and Mike arrived shortly thereafter. The removal went perfectly and PEKABU was departing the marina by 12:05! We never were approached by anyone at the marina. I guess since we paid at the time arrangements were made, and used the only crane permitted on the property, there was really no reason to take time away from other projects or lunch. WOW! 15 minutes and done!

The engine removal and its crating
While waiting, Pete and the TowBoat captain listened in to radio communications between a 45-foot fishing boat and the USCG. Both engines failed and they needed a tow in from 38 miles offshore. TowBoat will only go out to 20 with a calm sea state. It is rough out there now. CG offered to remove the 5, but no mention of a tow.
As we were departing, it started to rain. Thankfully, the heaviest rain slipped just to our north. Mostly missed the guys on their way back to our marina. They arrived back at our slip at 12:30. I helped with lines and electrical hookups. Having the dock lines marked worked really well. With winds from the east of 14-18 and gusts of 25, and TowBoat keep us in position, we were quick and efficient securing the lines.
We still can’t figure it out. It took a total of 2 hours for TowBoat, including initial securing, tow, wait in the well, tow back and securing. Our membership covered the initial tow, yet we were additionally charged $650 for the return tow (which was discounted to the commercial rate as we are members in good standing.) It is still not as much as paying additionally for 3-4 weeks’ storage on the hard at Cracker Boys, with no power, (no AC), no running water and requiring a ladder to get on and off!
Once things cooled down both outside and inside the boat, we put things back to right. The front cabin emptied, reorganized in the aft cabin, and Pete put up the canvas and awnings. They really make a difference with the effectiveness & efficiency of the AC. The difference between not having direct and hot sunlight on the cabin can be felt. It is remarkable that with the awnings there is no increased temperature gradient as you near the ceiling. The AC periodically has a chance to cycle off.

Countrywide (the engine rebuilder) has been informed that the engine was being removed and a pickup needed to be scheduled. Pete received an email after 4:30 that they scheduled the pickup for tomorrow morning. He immediately called the mechanics, but of course, they had left for the day. Pete then cancelled the pickup. There was no way to know the mechanics’ schedule as to when it would be prepped for shipping. He will call Tuesday to reschedule as they are closed on Fridays and Monday is Memorial Day.
I walked with Chrissy over at the George LaStrange Preserve again today. She had told me that there are lots of gopher tortises; large, land-dwelling reptile found in the southeastern US, known for digging extensive burrows that provide shelter for over 350 other species. Most are 9-11 inches but these two are easily closer to the 15-inchers.
A Gopher Tortise
The sightings were special. The final part of the walk is along an old road where the alphalt is decoposing. It is uneven, broken down and has chunks that have dislocated. Unfortunately, I found one of those chunks, which resulted in me going down. I now have a really colorful road burn down my left leg, and no tissues to capture the blood drooling down my leg and my palm, also.

Also, the launch of SpaceX’s Starship 12 was scheudeled from their facility in Texas. This will be their first Starship rocket to reach low earth orbit, launch Starlink satellites and return to earth. Due to a lock that didn’t work, the flight was scrubbed at T- 40 seconds. It was fixed and the launch took place tonight. We tuned on YouTube about 50 seconds after liftoff. I don’t know how they succeed in capturing the most spectacular video/photos of the launch, booster separation, descending and landing into the Indian Ocean. An amazing fact: Starship actually uses the atmosphere to slow down its decent by descending horizontally. I couldn’t help but geek out and pull some of the photos from Facebook taken but the NSF, Launch Heaven, and CBS to document and share.

Not quite sure how this day arrived so early. I know how they choose the date, but really I didn’t think the 4th Monday of May is here already!
Pete went to breakfast with GRMS Ham Radio Club at Golden Corral on Saturday. He said the food was great and the buffet reasonable. Thirty members were able to meet, greet and enjoy the company.
Weather is warm with temps in the high 80’s, “feels like” in the mid- 90s, but the afternoon breezes out of the SSE were wonderful, with 15-20 and gusts up to 25. Chrissy and I took advantage and walked down at the Jetty both Sunday & Monday mornings. Great weekend for walks and photo ops!

Monday, I helped Lauren, Will and friends secure her boat into the slip closest to the bath house & concrete wall. It might have been a challenge to dock, but Lauren did a great job. We introduced ourselves and look forward to seeing more of each other in the months to come.

We decided to take Tillie over to Vero Dog Park. Thankful for the shaded areas. Tillie enjoys meeting the other dogs, but sometimes in her excitement, she runs too fast to greet the newcomers and the dogs react. We will need to work with her on this. Once back, Pete washed Tillie as I picked up some groceries.
We had to reschedule appointment with pulmonologist because we were supposed to have CT scan prior to our visit. Somehow, the person who was supposed to set up the appointment never did. We then called the CT scheduling office, which was torture. Available appointments: August 4th - 1st available at HCA JFK in Atlantis, mid-June for HCA Fairlawn here in Ft Pierce, but finally, successful at HCA JFK North in West Palm for Thursday! YEA!! We wanted to keep it in the same network, to ensure that all three scans can be compared.
Pete followed up with the call to Countrywide (the engine rebuilder), planning to arrange another pickup date. Countrywide then checked their records. Apparently, our engine was picked up on Thursday, per the original invoice. Pete immediately called Pedro. Yea, it was picked up on Thursday morning, but he has no paperwork, no tracking number or who picked it up. Countrywide suggested using the original tracking number on the original invoice. Well, it was picked up Thursday and the truck with our engine is currently in D.C., apparently for another pickup. More CCK (Crazy Current Karma)! The curiouser and curiouser things gets. We really, and I mean it seriously, we can’t make this $hiT up!!!

I started work on the current blog, after going through photos for the past year. Cleaned out a lot of dups and undesirable photos. I have lots of space on the phone, but these are unnecessary.
This evening, around 9 pm, Blue Origen’s Glen Rocket had a scheduled testing procedure while anchored to its launch site at Cape Canaveral. With a tremendous explosion, fireball and sonic boom, its failure was seen and heard by many, including here in Fort Pierce, 70 miles away. The following is from The National Space Foundation:

On May 28, 2026, a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket exploded during a static fire test at Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 36 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Named, “No, It's Necessary,” it was undergoing a static fire test, in which the rocket's engines are fired while the vehicle remains secured to the launch pad, when it exploded.
The explosion destroyed the vehicle and severely damaged Launch Complex 36, Blue Origin's only operational New Glenn launch site. The incident halted New Glenn’s launch operations while the cause of the explosion was investigated and repairs to the facility were assessed. No injuries were reported.

Heading off the boat, we noticed the 60-foot Hatteras on J-dock was covered with a very large, red & black tarp. Late yesterday, Pete thought that a sailboat in that area had unfurled a spinnaker. It was very curious. Who would unfurl a sail with strong winds out of the SSW between 15 and 25 mph?!
We now know it was a hazmat situation to deal with termites on a mostly wooden boat.

It is hot and humid with pop-up storms scattered across the state. We were fortunate to skirt them on our way back to the boat. When it comes to storms, our CCK seems to have been around for a while. For inexplicable reasons, most storms avoid us, tending to split around us or barely brush the area around us. It is great for me when it comes to thunderstorms, great when we need to walk Tillie, great for driving or running errands, but unfortunately, when there is a drought as severe as Florida has been experiencing recently, it isn’t necessarily good for others.
The Sailing Yacht M5 per Wikipedia:
The M5 is a record-breaking, 77.6-meter (255 ft) sloop-rigged superyacht. Famous as the largest single-masted sailing yacht in the world, her towering carbon-fiber mast reaches 89 meters (290 ft) into the sky—too tall to pass under any fixed bridge in the world.
M5 is a sloop-rigged super yacht launched in 2003 as Mirabella V. She is the largest single-masted yacht ever built.

Design
Technical challengesWhile vessels of M5's size are typically made from steel or aluminum, an aramid foam core/vinylester sandwich build was chosen to achieve a shorter delivery date, reduced maintenance (regular repainting to inhibit corrosion is not required) and better acoustic thermal insulation.Historically, large yachts were built with more than one mast in order to divide the sail area for easier handling. Today's technologies in spars, rigging, sailmaking, powered winches and electronics enable rigs with larger sail areas, higher aspect ratios, larger loads and simpler handling, allowing Mirabella V to be constructed with the tallest mast and largest jib of any sailing craft ever built at the time. One of the procurement challenges was finding sheets strong enough to trim the sails.After changing hands and being rechristened M5, she was relaunched in September 2013 with an extended stern and reverse transom, a lighter ballast arrangement and carbon fibre standing rigging.
Oh yea, I forgot to mention: she is valued at a measley, $50 MILLION!

Pete decided last night that since the AC seems to be having a hard time keeping the temperature down. He needs to flush the system with Barnacle Buster.
He spent about 90 minutes prepping the boat and his wonderful system of pipe, valves and hose. At 10 am, he started and checked that systems were doing what it should, when a hose connection gave way. Now Pete needed to pick up more Barnacle Buster at $99 for the gallon! It needs to run 1 hour in each direction. This means no AC for hours in 84 degrees. Currently, it feels like 92 degrees with humidity around 80 and pop-up showers all around us. It will be worth it once it’s completed cleaning out all the flow for the AC. Last time it was done, was in Daytona, 2 summers ago, when we were infested with baby mussels.
I ordered vacuum filters and doggie bags from Amazon. Could have sworn that the delivery address was changed to Ft Pierce from the default, Myrtle Beach. Apparently, I forgot to hit “save” after I made the change. I called MBYC and asked them to please placed the on the free table if none of the staff could use them. Defaults are nice, but troublesome with us being a moving target.
The weathermen were accurate. Temps reached 90, humidity started high, but fell during the day, and the breezes were mild out of the west. Storms were once again in the forecast. They did form and dissipate around us. Not far from us they received heavy rain.
Sunday, 5/31/26 ~
Once again storms were predicted.
Pete went in search of filter material for the AC. Most are too porous, while the heftier are too difficult for proper air flow. He searches so he can form a suitable highbred. He wasn’t happy with his searching, but found a temporary solution that should suffice until the filter material he ordered comes in.
Oh oh! I just realized that am turning into a geek, following the launches, seeking technical info, searching for the names of flowers . . . Hummm . . . .
