Stuart, FL

Well, we finally got "unstuck" from Velcro Beach!! Left there on Monday and arrived in Stuart that evening. We actually got here at 4pm but ended up waiting an hour for the train drawbridge to open. The bridge closes automatically when a train is 10 minutes away. Three different trains kept it closed for an hour! There is also a vehicle draw bridge right next to the train one but the bridge operator has no idea when the next train is coming.

Stuart, FL has a mooring ball field like Annapolis. There are 80 mooring balls here and most are in use. The city is actually about 6 miles up the St Lucie River off the ICW. It is also on the Okeechobee Waterway route across to the west coast of Florida. Stuart bills itself as the "Sailfish Capital of the World". It is also the headquarters for Kadey Krogen Yachts.
