And on the 7th day they rested

After a very busy week, we decided to stay put at the Ft. Pierce City Marina (very nice) for two nights. Once docked yesterday, we walked into the little downtown area which encompasses about 6 square blocks. Quaint and sweet, you can tell the locals are doing their best to revitalize the area. Although it was only 5 o'clock, most of the stores were closed save one t-shirt shop. The gal who worked there told us about the historic theatre (built in the 1920's) around the corner and said it had been recently refurbished and they were doing their best to get some good entertainment. We walked over and found the featured artist last night to be Mary Wilson (yes, from The Supremes) and The Funk Brothers. Oh my gosh! We got front row-center! No kidding! The back up vocalists were amazing! I got a pink rose (mainly due to my seat, I'm sure). It was a wonderful show...We did not realize how many number one Motown hits the Funk brothers accompanied. OK, I'm beginning to enjoy spontaneity!
Took a cab to church this morning...a heavenly message about "closing your eyes to feel awake" and finding the divine connection between your heart and head...(I thought of it as two waypoints...trusting your instruments even if you cannot "see" what is ahead)...needing both head and heart to find your way...
Spent the day catching up with laundry and house keeping. Tonight we will cook on board again and get a good night's sleep as tomorrow will be an early start and we are hoping to get all the way to Titusville.
