So here we are safely docked at the Marriott Resort Hutchinson Island Marina (which is actually in Stuart, Florida). The photo above shows the whole Marriott property--and it is huge! The marina is that white stuff dangling out into the water on the left side of the photo. As you can see, there is water everywhere--the Intracoastal waterway is on the left and the Atlantic Ocean is on the right side of the photo. The property is over 200 acres, has an 18-hole golf course and a private beach (and some pretty cool outdoor bars by each of their two pool areas). Best part is they provide a tram to get you anywhere you want to go on the property. I pretty much assumed I would be taking the tram from the boat to the bar to the beach to the bar to the boat--pretty cool round trip wouldn't you say? And, of course, that would have included drinking something with an umbrella in it! In reality, the need to exercise our chubby bodies won out and Art and I are walking all around the property instead of taking the tram (that sure put a damper on my bar hopping ideas!). Anyway, it is really nice place to chill until we are ready to head up north and begin our journey. More on the local area (Stuart) in my next post.Our boat is tied to (behind) the fifth pole counting from the left. View is looking West across the Intracoastal at sunset.
