Monday - Left early for Stuart. Cold night and a brisk morning. About a mile down the ICW, we lost steering on the bridge. Check, check, could not find a problem. Had steering below. The air pressure in the hydraulic steering system seemed low probably due to the cold. I pumped it up a little and check the bridge. Steering was back. While I was checking all this, the boat was on autopilot. Strange, autopilot worked, lower station worked, need to check level of fluid at Stuart.
No more problem. But it sure wakes you up when the boat doesn't do what your anticipating !!
Tuesday - Cold night, but we had power for the heater. Nice inside the boat. Got settled. Walked to Lola's for Fish Tacos, then to Publix. If your ever in Stuart you MUST go to LOLA'S. Tuesday's get together with other cruisers. Drink and snack. Met more nice people. Marina has nice large captain's lounge with wide screen LCD TV.
