Stuart Safe Harbor Yacht Club Day 2

Stuart, FL day 2

We’re aboard Safe Harbor Harborage Yacht Club, one of the largest marinas we’ve ever seen…apparently by merging two adjacent giant marinas into one. It’s 1.9 miles to the bath house and back (you can call for a golf cart ride 7am-10pm if you want). We rate it within the top six 5-star marinas we’ve ever docked at. There are adjacent train tracks and horn noise. Tomorrow should be a good day to cross Lake O according to the sources we trust most (blue Windy.com, NOAA Lake O Marine Forecast and local knowledge).

What Broke:

Garmin VHF 215 won’t turn on or screen light up with power button, although the speaker is emitting a regular ‘ticking’ sound each second. Fuse is good.

Garmin 8212 MFD is reporting Garmin GFS10 fuel data for both engines, but twin 8012 MFD is not.

Brand new HH VHF #2 is transmitting but not receiving.

It’s a boat, it’s always something.

We walked to Publix (2 miles round trip) for a bit of re-provisioning.

Great marina! To the west is Old Roosevelt 14 ft bridge and ‘automatic’
RR bridge adjacent at 7 feet, but don’t get caught between them if one is down!
