| Today we head south 30 miles on the pretty A1A coastal route to Fort Pierce stopping off along the way at one or two of the many beach parking areas..... Slight excitement at this one, as we walked along the boardwalk to the beach a horn sounds and red flags are hoisted by the lifeguards as a shark had been spotted....no sightings by us but if we had thought about going for a swim that's out of the window now !!!! |
 |
| Next stop is at the National Navy Seal Museum..... |
 |
| Covering the history of the Navy Seals, very informative and interactive.... |
 |
| This of course was my area of interest being of course more than interested in space and space travel.....I'm first in line for when they want to do research on how space travel impacts on an old woman's body !!! |
 |
| Sorry you all back in UK we had to gloat....88 F :) |
 |
| Fort Pierce Marina area.....very Floridian and a neat area for a walkabout... |
 |
| Old town Fort Pierce.... |
 |
| The old City Hall building.... |
 |
| On to the Manatee Centre and hoping for a sighting..... |
 |
| Harbour view from the Manatee Centre.... |
 |
| Great excitement we are lucky and get a sighting of mum and cub.....sorry that the photos don't really show them but they love this type of murky water and only float up to the surface and very occasionally stick their snouts out so I am quite pleased with results... |
 |
| Included this one mainly as I like the effect and colour.... |
 |
| We haven't yet discovered the name of this colourful bird, must look it up .... |
 |
| Lunch sandwich spot farther along the coast from Fort Pierce.... While here a bit more excitement as 2 young girls paddling their kayak got into difficulties with the current, it's a quiet/safe inland water way and they were not in a life threatening situation thank goodness but one should never underestimate the sea/water....rescue was on hand, a fishing boat was just about to head out of the and towed then to the nearest jetty....we heard them saying to their friends that they felt as though everyone was watching them !! Perhaps just as well... |
 |
| We carried on our drive down the A1A to Jensen Beach....again as well as public beach access there are numerous golf courses and very large country clubs and estates, all very attractive and manicured.... Home to Camp Harris in time for sundowners and sighting of a bald eagle flying over the campsite...yes that was before the sundowners !!! More soon from The Chillin" Campers.... |
