Stuart, FL 3/8/2013

We took a side trip today and went from Lake Worth to Sunset Bay Marina in the St Lucie River. We were so surprised at the upscale marina, beautiful boaters' lounge, nice laundry facilities ($1.50 per wash and dry) and great mooring field. The amenities here are awesome! There is a scenic river walk to downtown Stuart which is filled with upscale shops and restaurants. We had fish and chips at Duffy's and it was warm enough to sit outside. Stuart offers free shuttle service to anywhere in the city and they will pick you up at the marina if you call them. This morning we walked to Publix which is only 8-10 minutes from the dinghy dock. We'll certainly plan to stay here next fall for several days when we head south again.
