12/30/14 Tuesday Fort Pierce, Fla

What a wonderful day!!! We were not sure we would make it to Ft. Pierce today!!! We had a great tide that pushed us and little boat traffic and made it to the marina around 1:30pm. The marina is about 1/2 mile off the waterway and in a cove with little wake!! We need a good nights sleep with no movement in the boat!!  hehe. After docking and securing our lines to the dock we showered and off we went to check out the town!! But of course first we took Lexie for a nice long walk and went and check in at the dockmaster office and paid for our rent for the next 5 days! We rode the streets to check out some of the places we want to fvisit while here. Had a late lunch at McDonalds, always a treat after many days with out a French fry!! ha Stopped at the visitors center and picked up brochures. Visited the manatee center and there again talked to some people about what are some of the great things to do here. After returning to the boat, and checking in on Lexie we again decided to go walk and see some of the Christmas lights here at the Marina. What a treat!!! I took so many pics today there is no way to share them all, it it takes forever to download many pics to the blog. I'll post my favorites of some I took today. Another day tomorrow we will decide in the morning what we want to do first !!!
Love to all, It's almost 2015!!!!!  Fran and Capt Rod

I took 16 pics of these guys today jumping and playing in our wake!! Great to have a nice camera to  catch this treasure. I was hangin out the window of the boat!! 

Lexie kept looking for the Dolphins for an hour!!

Jupitor Fla Lighthouse!!!

HUGH marina they just built 4 new docks and preparing for 4 more!! This marina can probably accommodate a couple hundred boats!

There is an entre city block full of peacocks!! They walk right up to you in hopes of you throwing food!!
There was a good 30-40 of these guys!! They walk in the street and actually stop traffic!! They own the whole city block!!, hehe 
These Palm tree lights move to Christmas music!, incredible!!! 

The city's Christmas tree!!! Beautiful!!

A Christmas Gazabo!!
