On our way to Ft Pierce, there are many ospreys nesting on top of the day markers. Sometimes we can hear babies. 

We did an extra 20 miles again today getting us closer to Stuart in hopes of seeing our niece and family before they head home. We tried a new anchorage for us which was in the inlet channel. There are many other boats there as well so we thought it was worth a try.

Sunday March 28

It was a sleepless night as we were up most of the night worrying about the current and anchor. The current started to rip through about midnight. And that was the end of sleep for some of us. We started the coffee pot at 5:30 and were under way by moonlight.

Sunrise on the east 

And moon set in the west! 

This is as we go by the Pierce City Marina which we bypassed this year. It looked pretty full of boats. The moon above it was beautiful. 

On our way to Stuart.

Passing through the Roosevelt Bridges. All 3 of them at one time. We had to wait for the one to open along with "millions" of other boats, large and small.

We arrived at our anchorage in the St Lucie River behind Becky and Charles home at 11:30 and got to spend several hours with the little family. 

We get to meet Brooks O'Hara for the 1st time! 

We had not seen Adeline Rose since she was 2-3 months old and it was great to see Erin and Brian!

Sunrise in St Lucie River, Stuart

While cruising the last couple of years we have made some great friends. No photos 🤷🏼‍♀️ but we met and had lunch with friends living in the Melbourne area who drive here to meet up for lunch and then with other friends staying in Ft Pierce. We also had some great family time and great meals with our sister and brother in law in the evenings after their work. And yes, everyone has been vaccinated and we wore masks while going places.
