Back in the U.S. of A.

It has been almost a month since I last left an entry on this blog. We are in Stuart Florida, at the recently opened Sunset Bay Marina just above the bridge on the St. Lucie River. We have about a 4 hour trip to the final destination of Indiantown Fl. where the boat will be prepared for her trip back to Fenelon Falls. We are sitting here at the marina this morning because the lock that we have to go up along the Okeechobee Waterway is on a reduced schedule because of the fairly severe drought that the state has experienced. I will note, however, that we have had heavy rains regularly pretty much every day since we began our trip back from the Exumas. We are about 8 miles from the lock and it will only be opening at 1:00 this afternoon so our "free" time is being spent catching up. It has been relatively hard to maintain the blog because internet service, while available in some places, is usually over satellite services and is not really fast enough for our needs.
We have covered a lot of ground since Nassau. I will try to fill in some of the highlights and get a few photos up when I have a bit more time. As it is, my goal is to try to get back to Fenelon Falls around the middle of June.
