Back in January when we arrived in Fort Pierce after buying the boat, we met another couple, Stephen and Charlotte, also at Harbour Isle Marina and also planning to be 2012 Loopers. They’re from Jacksonville, FL and we enjoyed several social occasions with them before they returned to Jacksonville and home for a couple of months.
Last night Stephen and Charlotte came to St. Augustine, 20 minutes from their home, to have dinner with us. It was great to see them again! They’re really nice folks, lively and fun, and have 5 kids similar ages to our 3. They picked us up at the marina and took us to “Aunt Kate’s” on the ICW a few miles north of town for fried shrimp and margaritas. We talked a lot about our Loop plans, preparations (they expect to leave home April 9 to head north), and plans to meet again. They’ve already cruised this area over the years so will start out at a faster pace than we’re going, and likely catch up with us somewhere in Georgia or South Carolina.
It was great to see Stephen and Charlotte again, and we look forward to the next time.
