Pirates Booty

We left again early this moring by 8:30 a.m. for a beautiful sunny cruise to Pirate’s Cove Marina & Resort in Port Salerno, FL on the southern shores of St. Lucie river inlet.  It was named "Salerno" because the main settlers were emigrants from the Italian city of the same name.  It’s next door to Stuart, FL which is known for it’s fishing tournaments. The homes and neighborhoods we were cruising by were much more fancy than all of Florida we’ve seen so far further north. 

After a little ship-shaping up, we went to the town of Stuart and had lunch on the Stuart Riverwalk at ‪Mulligan’s‬ Boat House on the deck. It was situated right by the Sunday Farmer’s Market and there was a good band playing on the dock.  We walked the town and took it all in, then went back to the boat.  There was a fairly nice restaurant right in the marina so we decided to make it easy and eat on the deck just a few steps away from the boat.  

We were up again early for our final day on the boat to do laundry and move the boat 200 yards across the cove to Hinckley Marine where the boat will be hauled and stored until we return after the new year.  By noon we had called an Uber and had begun our two hour drive to the Four Seasons Orlando where we will be spending the next three days touring Disney World and Universal Studios.  We are really looking forward to seeing Harry Potter at Universal Studios and the World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
