Well I wasn't going to keep going with the blog but I guess some of you are wanting to know about the return to Chesapeake Bay journey. Not as exciting as the Bahamas perhaps!
We ended up sitting in Palm Beach Gardens for a week as we waited for the Garmin magnetron radar component to arrive and be installed.What can we say , the schedules of the boating repair people don't match those of the boat owners!Roger and Linda very kindly lent us one of their cars so we were able to get out and about. The Soverel Marina is great if you ever need a place to stay with the convenient Carmine's up scale supermarket and Italian restaurant right next door. And Seminole Boat Yard ( where we had our pod repairs done pre Bahamas) is next door in the other direction.We had ordered a new coverlet to be made for our bed at Seminole and were able to pick it up while we were there. Finally on Tuesday 4 th June the radar magnetron was installed and we were ready to go around noon.Decided to leave and head up the ICW and get as far as Fort Pierce. We stayed at a very nice marina there. Harbortown Marina.Many people choose this as their return port after the Bahamas. Nice friendly and helpful dock hands and a fun tiki bar and restaurant. We had a well deserved drink at the bar then I cooked up a shepherds pie for dinner.
Over and Out
