Stuart FL

(Monday April 4 - Dist: 38.0 mi; Avg Speed: 8.3 mph; TTT: 4:25 hrs)

Greg Norman's place on Jupiter Island.  Our travels from Riviera Beach to Stuart on the ICW took us by numerous homes of the rich and famous.  Fortunately for us Rick a friend from Ottawa and currently wintering in Stuart was able to give us a colour commentary along the way.  It was a hot and windy day which made the leaving and docking rather exciting but the ride along the route was very interesting.

The Tiger Story:

This is Tiger Woods' place as seen from the water.  As you see he has taken great pains in the past couple of years to hide his place from public view.  He has succeeded; very unimpressive.  Here is more of the story.  Tiger's exwife Elan used to be the nanny for Jesper Paranavik; his place is the one with the purple roof.  She of course then moved in with Tiger.  Now since the divorce she has purchased a 17,000 square foot home on one of the most prestigous golf courses in Florida.  Not bad.

The town of Stuart is a neat little town with plenty of shops and restaurants.  We enjoyed the Monday night specials at Duffy's and tonight we are being treated to a BBQ at Rick and Lynne's.  Life is still good although the water looks like s!#@, rather brackish.
