TUESDAY FEBRUARY 23RD

Woke to fog, but it burned off early and the sun came out warming things up. Stuart Florida is the Sailfish Capital of the world and there are many fishing tournaments here. Stuart's location to the gulfstream waters makes it the best place there is to land a sailfish.









There is a board walk that begins at our marina and follows along the water into the historic shopping district.


















We saw this small ray close to the shore. It was the same color of it's surroundings and I wouldn't have noticed it except to moved and and flashed the white undersides of its wings. I'm not sure if they're called wings, but I think you know what I mean.






The historic shopping district contains several streets with fun boutiques, art galleries, gift shops, coffee shops, and restaurants. Ross and Mark didn’t last too long, but Tami and I checked out most every shop.

























Where are those women?!!!












Actually we were just around the corner at the Tiki Hut sacrificing ourselves to be sangria taste testing guinea pigs for the staff there. Oh the hardships of traveling. The Tiki Hut had a large juicer and loads of fresh oranges, limes and lemons. They would squeeze them and make all sorts of yummy concoctions with the fresh juice. We sampled the wine sangria. They gave us the recipe but we haven't tried to make any yet.




In the center of the town is this fountain of a sailfish. It's actually in the center of a round about. Thank goodness for digital cameras and the delete button. Do you have any idea how many shots I took before I got one without a car in front of it?





Way back in Marathon on Valentines Day we went to buy shrimp at a local fish market. Before we left, they gave Tami and I each a rose. These roses have sat in a class of water on the table on our back deck since then. I've maybe remembered to give them fresh water a couple of times. We just can't believe how long these flowers have survived, and still look good. Here's Tami modeling one.




There is a theatre in the historic district that has performances of all sorts. And wouldn’t you know it, Tuesday night the theatre is dark. And it’s Tuesday. We resorted to calling a cab and went to see the movie The Blind Side for our evening fun. We all really enjoyed the movie. The weather is predicted to turn nasty so we hope there won’t be fog in the morning and we can leave at daylight.
