We arrived in Stuart, Florida with a bang and I do mean bang. We had a rough docking episode and hit the seawall pretty hard with our boat. Well all I can say about it is that we won't be doing that same approach again, we were too close to a big fishing boat when coming in and tried to duck into the spot but of course got hooked on the other boat and had to fend off to keep from messing up their boat. Thank God their boat was ok but ours of course got a little ding here and there. Just another repair job for Stuart. The marina here is great, it has laundry, showers and a Cruiser seating room to hang out in, plus a great restaurant next door "The Sailor Return", the food was delicious.
