Exploring Stuart

Hello dear friends and family -

Greetings from Master Plan after a great sunny weekend in Stuart!  Paul and I decided to rent a car so we could explore the area a little more and get our bearings.  So - we picked it up on Saturday morning and will return it tomorrow morning.  It gave us a chance to run some errands, as well as really stock up on groceries (cases of water, etc.) while we had "wheels."  We also went down to West Palm Beach last night to visit our dear friend "Florida" Jack Burks - we had a lovely visit with him and he and his friend Keith will come up here on Tuesday and we'll take a little cruise out on boat and join us for lunch - we're excited to see him again so soon.

Our friends Rick, Linda, and Kirby the wonder dog arrived to the marina on Friday and it is so great to see them!  They were right in front of us in Charleston for almost a month - so it's so nice to see them again!  They docked very close to us on Friday - then today moved to a mooring.  Linda's cousin Sharon lives in the area, so she and her husband Gary joined us for dinner on Friday and brunch today - great people!  The weather was sunny all weekend, but yesterday was much more windy.  Today, Paul and I went out on the dinghy for a ride around the north fork of the Port Lucie River - beautiful area and we saw lots of birds and cool stuff.  We really are loving this area - it's great for boating and also just a fun place to live with a cool downtown area at our fingertips, yet all the conveniences close by.  Not to mention the weather! 
Sunday Brunch at Finz Waterfront Grille in Manatee Pocket - an area that is about a 10-minute drive from our marina.  It is also a wonderful area for boating (as you can tell by the background).  Pictured (L to R) - Paul, Jen, Gary, Sharon, Linda, and Rick.

The name of our marina is Sunset Bay Marina - appropriately named - we have been enjoying beautiful sunsets each evening - this one was taken at our new slip from the fly bridge.

And here is Kirby The Wonder Dog!  He and his Mom & Dad (Rick and Linda) came over for dinner tonight - he is the sweetest dog - beautifully behaved and just downright awesome.
We send our love and best wishes to all family and friends far and near - we carry you in our hearts every day.  Feel welcome to come visit - it's awfully nice here in Stuart!  Until next time - Lots of love, Jen & Paul
