Still in Indiantown!

Our visitor this morning

I must say that I am disappointed that we are still here in Indiantown.  Captain Man and I have been working hard for over 2 years to take 6 months off to sail to the Bahamas.  But we are still in Florida, engineless.  We are told the new engine should be here by the end of next week.  I can't help but ask....Why does it take so long????  The engine is being shipped from England to the distributor here in the states and then will be shipped to Indiantown.  I cannot wait!   We have visited every park in the area, been to every restaurant...so much so that the locals know us by name, and have done all the "top 10 things to do in Stuart/Indiantown" on TripAdvisor.   The only thing we haven't done here is the swamp buggy ride.  I am not big on swamp creatures, but after being grounded here for over a month, we may have to check it out.

But things happen for a reason, and being stuck here did allow me to fly back to NC to be with my brother for his surgery and to check on my parents.  And of course...I spent time with my granddaughter while I was there.  I was glad the weather cooperated while I was there...cool but not the frigid cold they were experiencing a week before.

Misty cool NC morning

Got back to Florida and the first night dipped into low 40's.  COLD for this area. But it did not last long...the sun came out and warmed everything to a comfortable 76 degrees.

Sunny Indiantown morning

We are still planning on taking the boat to the Bahamas, but obviously our stay there will be much shorter.  We plan to get back to NC in April, as we have a huge project (our craftsman fixer upper!)awaiting us and we want to start working on it before the humid NC summer kicks in.   

So here we are.  We are catching up on reading, Captain Man is getting all boat chores done, and I am counting down the days until we release the lines to the dock and move along.  

Until next time...enjoy!
