Fort Pierce to Peak Lake

We motored to Peak Lake turning into the "lake" after the green buoy 

The forecast was for lots of rain for several days, So we decided to sit it out I dinghy to the beach. Nice, but did not have any cameras 

On Saturday Wally and I scouted out a pavilion where we might have our final party. 

I had to resew the Bimini cut out for the back stays. My idea with Velcro was starting to fail. I was able stitch it 

I reorganized the food distribution on Bellum 

Chiheb called he didn’t see any need for an SIM card. I insisted to give him mine from my home automation system that Chris installed We also agreed that there was no good opening to cross to Bahamas for quite a while and decided he would spend Christmas Eve with Marie and come on Christmas Day and return to work on Jan 6. This was a big relief for me as it would give me time to provision Bellum from December 18 to 24 and let me spend some time with Sandrito.

Saturday night was very windy and rainy. Sunday morning was sunny, and I decided to do more boat work 

I removed inspect and clean the speed transducer which was intermittent a few days ago Remove and check the depth transducer since the V-berth was empty Clean the strainer for the wash down pump which was prudent. It would not prime easily afterwards Rested. Updated journals, tidy and clean. Rested

Final Party at the Pavillion and then at Taylor Beach House Cafe.
