Stuart Florida / House of Refuge at Gilbert's Bar / Muscle Vodka

Stuart Florida is a boater’s paradise and has been a hideaway for seasoned sailors and pirates for hundreds of years. Its Atlantic coast can be treacherous, and for this reason a House of Refuge was built here in 1876. The house was built as a refuge for shipwrecked sailors. We’ll tour the house and search for the nearby 1904 wreck of the 190’ Georges Valentine, an Italian barkentine that went down in heavy seas at Gilbert's Bar on Hutchinson Island.

In this episode we’ll also visit the amazing Grace Gillespie, owner and operator of the only sole female-owned distillery in America, Muscle Vodka.

We get so much feedback and interest in the headsets that we wear on the boat. Made by EARTEC, the UL2S UltraLITE headsets can be found at this Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3Ggo4bW

We are so stoked to finally be able to put quality drone footage into our videos. After crashing our first drone into the St. Johns River (never to be seen again), we have purchased a DJI Mini 3 Pro. Highly recommend it as a portable drone that takes great photos and 4K video. You can find it at this Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3IrU3ZC
