Monday November 18th Jack and I flew to Orlando, rented a car, and drove to Ft. Pierce to find slip # 23 at Harbor Isle Marina. ITHAKA will call this slip home from November 22nd, until sometime late in February or early March. If you are looking for us, slip #23 is located just before the piers spit off into a Y at the marina. After locating slip #23, we went to the marina office to look at the new rug for the sun-deck (thanks bob for the heads up on sun-deck maintenance and time management).
Next, we drove on to River Forest Yacht Center (excellent facility-highly recommend-great staff-great service) to reunite with ITHAKA (Oh, Happy Day!).
Tuesday (19th) and Wednesday (20th) we took care of business. We worked around the boat and did some shopping.
Thursday, November 21 - We had hoped to move the boat today (alone), but weather did not permit. Instead we went to dinner at the Pig and Cow Restaurant (never been to one before) and went to see the St. Lucie Locke on the Okeechobee River.
We moved the boat from River Forest Yacht Center to Harbour Isle Marina in Ft. Pierce, Florida. I worked the lines. Jack piloted the boat. As I am working the lines, the sky opened and buckets of rain poured out. This increased my motivation to acquire that fly bridge job. Before leaving RFYC Jack put 80 gallons of fuel @$3.65 a gallon into Ithaka. Our baby eats a lot, but we love, love, love, her.
