Old Port Cove is an upper echelon 5-star marina in – of course – North Palm Beach.  All the amenities one would want and a great restaurant to boot.  Upon registering, we were greeted in style with a bottle of wine and during our entire stay they offered complimentary coffee, tea, lemonade, sodas, ice and mints!  Of course Ron always loves “floating docks” (we don’t have to check lines in the middle of the night for the tide exchange).

    

It was 47 degrees the next morning and we turned on the heaters, not realizing we had tied the dinghy off directly under the a raw water discharge outlet.  The discharged water was pouring right into the dinghy, filling it with over (at last count) 30 gallons of water.  We spent the next hour pumping water……

Karen spent the morning finishing up our income tax in her corner office (with a view) – YEA – all done!  And then treated herself to exploring around the marina looking at the beautiful boats.

   

We walked 2 miles to Publix to re-provision and took advantage of the marina’s courtesy shuttle to return with our load of “more than expected” supplies.

Our dinner was at the marina’s Sandpiper Cove Restaurant – Ron had the North Palm Beach salad with crab & shrimp, Karen had a bacon and tomato grilled cheese sandwich (not tired of seafood yet, but just ready for a change).

    

……..tomorrow on up The Palm Coast to Ft. Pierce……
