Day 10 Indiantown

Stayed in Indiantown Marina and got some jobs done. John finished mounting the Garmin and investigated inverters vs a new frig. I cleaned blinds, reorganized and somehow managed to get the salon a/c working. A good day to make that happen! (Found out the 50 amp shore power cable worked.) There's a beautiful breeze here, but when it stops - it's brutal. Got the folding bikes out in the late afternoon and toured Indiantown looking for a restaurant. It is literally a one red light town. There is one historic hotel called the Seminole Inn. It was built by a rich guy named Warfield (the main street is named after him). His daughter stayed there on her honeymoon when she married the Duke of Windsor. THAT is the only thing that happened here. The town was totally shut down for Memorial Day - remember when stores and businesses closed for holidays?!  However,  we found bar-b-que nirvana. If you are ever in this area, you MUST stop at JR's Bar-b-que and Saloon. The potions and prices were ridiculous and the ribs, collard greens and braised cabbage were to die for. And we may just do that later tonight, but it was sooooo good going down. Tomorrow, we head to the east coast.
