The Adventures of the Sterling Lady 4 and the Sterling Lady 5
The bridge tender at Alva is still wearing the Red hats.
We had never stoped at the pricey Crows Nest in Venice before, but with a 24 ft. boat, we thought we would give it a try.
I must admit, For that price, I was not impressed.
Fixed docks, lots of current and traffic, long way to a very ritsy town, Venice.
Today was in the 90's and the Micowave decided not to work.
Didn't want to cook in the cabin, too hot. So we got out the Butane cooker, it worked really well.
heading back, we had to do the mandatory stop at cabbage key for thier $12 hamburber without fries.


But the ambiance is great.
We had hoped to stop and stay at Waldens at Boca Grand Key, but they were "full" so we kept heading south.
Maybe next time.
We went in the Ortona Lock, went to leave the lock, started the engine, and an alarm is going off.

Luckily, River Forest Yachting center is about a half mile east, we went in there and were Immediately, quickly, and inexpensively fixed! 

I can highly recommend River Forest for repairs.
Another one for the Boat names file... think he is a poker player??
