March 2016
We were working so hard fixing our “beach house” we hadn’t
taken time out much to play. So one day we did take an afternoon off and play
golf. It was nice to get away from the painting and laying floor although we
knew we had more to do.
A Bit of Water and Sand
We spent the next few days finishing up the rooms. The
weather hadn’t been the greatest so having our little remodel project was okay.
The winds and rains were pretty strong and we did have a couple tornado
warnings with one touching down within the county. The nice thing about it was
the sunset one evening. We managed to get outside in time to get a few pictures
of the color and the clouds that looked like a thick wavy blanket.

The weather was finally nice and the work done, yahoo, so we
loaded up the boat and went fishing for the day. We launched out of Ft. Pierce
since we have had success in the river there catching sheepshead.
The day was gorgeous with not too much wind and some cloud
cover. I caught the first nice sheepshead we could keep and Steve decided to
catch a catfish. He ended up catching two. These catfish you don’t want to
keep. Unlike the catfish we have at home, these are considered trash fish here.
I guess because that’s kind of how they taste.
Not What We Want Although Fun to Catch
Captain Steve
The Spectators
Steve did start catching sheepshead as well, but he also
found this funky looking guy. We have had a few of these in the past take our
bait too. Oh well, it’s not what you catch but the fact that you’re catching
something to begin with, right?!
We got home with seven sheepshead this time. Steve cleans
the fish and I clean the boat and gear. I am so okay with that arrangement! We
shared this catch with our neighbors across from us. Victor and Carole have
been great and easy to get to know. They will head home sometime in April so we
have been picking their brains on the close-up process for the house. It will
be interesting to see how our little place fairs during the summer.
I guess we were pretty tired of working as we played golf a
couple days after fishing and went to the beach on another day. I could get
used to that schedule much easier than painting walls and putting in floors! I
think Steve could too!
You’re probably wondering if Izzy is having any fun too.
Well she is as we try and either take her to the dog park every day or throw
her floppy a few times a day right outside our door. We have two empty lots
next to us so that’s Izzy’s private playground right now. She’ll be sad if they
get filled with homes.
We’re not sure about snow-birding this far from home but
decided to give it a try. So if you need a winter get away be sure and let us
know – we have a guest room and would love to have you come visit SIT!
Will keep you posted as to what’s next for our Florida
adventure here on the treasure coast.
