Day 67 arrived in Ft. Pierce

Left Stuart at 8:30 am and arrived at Ft. Pierce about four hours later. Really nice weather with 5+ mph winds and scattered clouds. In fact, it is now 9:40 pm, and we have not had any rain... Whoa!
 

     A "real" picture of an osprey from today. Several days ago, I put in a picture of what I thought was a soaring osprey. Although the Admiral changed the picture the next morning we have had several people who either saw the blog post or received the post via email before it was changed and pointed out that her soaring osprey was actually a turkey vulture.  This morning on our trip to Fort Pierce, she spotted another soaring osprey and captured this picture to make up for the mistake.

     Another tail/tale of a lost fish... We came to a stop in the waterway as this man alone in a boat drifted across the waterway. He was having a great "fight" with a tarpon, that jumped completely out of the water 4 or 5 times. In this picture, the tarpon is horizontal just above the water and at the feet of the fisherman. About 15 seconds later, the line broke, and we had another classic view of a tired, disappointed (but also secretly happy) angler.

      After checking in at the marina, we had lunch outside at the waterfront Tiki Bar & Restaurant. I had a fairly average Caesar Salad but with great grilled shrimp on top. Later, we went about 1.5 miles south via the electric scooters to a theater and saw RIPD (Rest in Peace Department). The movie was good, but the genre reminded both of us of Men in Black. Let the sequels begin...

 

     Once again, we are in the city marina, which is adjacent to (you guessed it) the restored, historic downtown.  I am almost 100% sure that tomorrow will involve some shopping, and I don't mean groceries even though there is a farmers market in the park adjacent...
