We got a relatively early start so we could back out of our slip before the wind kicked up. On the way down there were multiple sets of sailing dinghies. This would have been good training when we were kids. Instead I was a tubby middle aged guy taking a dinghy class on Tempe Town Lake 10 years ago. Seems like it has been longer than that.
In the Stuart marina Heather did a masterful job of docking in a tight slip. To maintain control given the strong side current and wind she had to power in pretty hot then really gun it in reverse to stop before taking out the dock. Docking is still stressful but we are getting a little better at it.
We went to a dinner at a place called Getting Crabby. Heather had a plate of Royal Red shrimp, a salad then for desert another plate of Reds. They were that good. More little lobsters than giant shrimp.
