Happy New Year from Stuart

January 1, 2013

After staying 4 nights in Vero Beach, we got up early New Years Eve morning and made our way to Stuart. Our friends from Michigan had saved us a mooring ball at Sunset Bay Marina and we arrived around 2:00pm.  We also had been invited to a New Years Eve Celebration with their cruising friends so we had a great dinner, a few too many drinks, and some great boating conversation.  We managed to stay up until.....10pm....which is the latest we have stayed up recently.  When cruising, there is generally not much to do on a boat after dark, so we tend to get up with the sun and go to bed when the stars are out.  We did  pop our head out of our front hatch at midnight to see fireworks.  We are going to stay in Stuart for awhile and plan our next adventure further south.
