HOMEWARD BOUND



           
Back in Ft Pierce, we went to the Oyster Festival, had lunch at 12A buoy and visited with friends on F dock.  We were anxious to get back to Brunswick and left with the first weather window.

The oyster festival is going to the dogs!


We left Ft Pierce at sunrise; saw another sunrise on the ocean and were safely docked at Brunswick when the sun rose again 47 hours after leaving Ft Pierce.  We spent a couple of days getting stuff off the boat—who would have thought one could put so many things in so many different places?  The car was stuffed and we still had to stop at Total Wine for a case of rum!



               We were pleased to find that silliness is not limited to the Bahamas.

Picasso step aside, the manatees are painting!

Back home, we had to find a place for all the stuff.  Apparently, we didn’t want to leave the Bahamas since we must have brought most of them home!  Twenty-seven pounds of seashells, 48 pounds of coral, assorted conch shells, air plants, a pile of driftwood, flower pods and fronds from coconut palms, sand, sea fans, etc.

And so, another season in the Bahamas has come to a close.  Now it's time to move on to summertime adventures!

Great pictures depicting great fun. So glad your life if full, Peter. You have truly found love again.

I'm off here now. I'll be going on my bicycle tour to promote awareness of the growing homeless population in this nation. I'll think of you when I'm in the South in the winter..I'll imagine all those beautiful pictures you would post on the forums throughout the years. The best to you two. And thanks for always be a friend on the forums.
