November 17 – December 14, 2015
Did someone say rain? We arrived on Thanksgiving and got to
enjoy a few days of sun, but that didn’t last long.
The next couple of weeks we had drenching rainstorms and
winds, so we kept ourselves entertained getting out when it stopped and looking
around the Fort Pierce and Vero Beach area. We are trying to see if we might
want to make this the winter get away spot for SIT in the future.
We have had some nicer weather the past couple of weeks
including record breaking heat. Oh and that pesky thing called humidity. That
is a bit different for us so you look for shade and enjoy the breeze. Hanging
out by the water does help.
We played 9 holes of golf on a course that is not too far
from where we are staying. I didn’t take any pictures this round but don’t
worry, we will be playing more golf.
We took one fishing charter as we are trying to learn the
good fishing spots in the intercoastal water way. We had a great time and
caught more fish we couldn’t keep than we could, but the ones we could keep
taste wonderful. We will head out again with Dustin our guide.

Our Catch
We are trying to learn the water a bit in order to take our
fishing kayaks out. Hopefully we can have success fishing from them. For me my
goal will be to not fall out when I cast!
Izzy is having fun since Steve can give her a run most days
from the RV park. The RV park doesn’t have amenities but is in a good location
for walking and heading to the waterfront.
Steve and Izzy will go to the fishing pier most mornings and
check out the action. He is getting excited about trying to fish from there as
he is custom making a fishing cart that will carry the gear, ice chest, and
bait. We will hopefully try it out soon. Us westerners need a bit of
acclimation before we spend 8 hours out there.

Project Steve
We decided to stay here as we were going to be helping at
the KOA as camp hosts. Unfortunately the owner hired another couple in
September so we aren’t working for them right now. I don’t think we mind too
much, since this gives us our freedom each day. We may end up helping in the
near future, but won’t crush us if we don’t. I think Izzy probably likes that
best too.
I will give you another report in a couple of weeks. Maybe I
will have some pictures of Manatees and dolphins that hang out in the river
close to the RV park.
Also, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you
are able to spend it with either family or friends or both!
