Day 66 - Stuart to Chicago - One Last Art Fair


Our last day in Florida on this leg was another warm and sunny day.  Betsy fed us breakfast and then we spent a few hours cleaning the boat and packing up.  Below are pictures of Betsy's house and dock, and the view across the water.  We were very fortunate to be able to leave our boat in such good hands.







We had enough time before our flight to take in the Stuart Art Fair held downtown Stuart. We have seen several on this trip!  Stuart is a town of 17,000 that swells to 21,000 in the winter, is known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.”  Downtown features a beautiful fountain with a sailfish sculpture, created by a local artisan. 


 

 
Stuart also has a rather unique music venue on its waterfront, with tiered seating facing a stage that sits over the water.  Free open air concerts happen here every Sunday afternoon from November through May.

 
Finally it was time to leave.  After one last check on Kristin Says, Betsy dropped us off at the West Palm Beach airport where we caught our flight home.  We have about 2 weeks at home until we resume our journey on March 7.
