Hi F&F
We had a wonderful 3 full days in the Sunset Marina Stuart Florida. This is a great marina!.It has a real attention to detail, starting from the guy who cleans the docks every day (from the never ending seagull and bird poop ) to the free bikes, a shuttle service ,the very friendly staff and the events they offer such as pot luck dinners , meet and greet happy hours, lunches out for the ladies, and yoga classes for all the boater staying at the marina .There is also very good restaurant on site which has live music every night.
Every day there was sun and warm temps usually around 80 degrees F.
We met up with Captain Dan who originally taught us the ropes of boating in Stuart even before we owned our boat. Had dinner out with him and his lady friend Josie. Had the boat serviced with an oil change using Joe a young an efficient guy who has worked on our boat before when we were in Florida.I did quite a lot of biking and washing! We also went to the Stuart boat show and found a couple of handy gadgets to use on the boat. Also took in a show "Capital Steps",which was very funny.Its a comedy show that takes a light hearted poke at politicians. We made some new friends there Deb and Don who are on a 55 Nordhaven Trawler type boat , and hail from North Carolina..We had a couple of evenings together and as boaters usually do, we exchanged cards and hope to keep up the friendship. Having name cards made ( usually with a picture of your boat) is a very popular idea when traveling on your boat. Boaters are usually very friendly on the whole and this way you may get to meet and keep in contact with new friends made along the way.
Stuart has a lovely little downtown area with several interesting stores as well as the lovely marina.. All in all a good place to stop, either for a few days or longer, in my opinion.
Over and Out
