In Palm City/Lake Worth waiting for south winds...

Thursday we "sailed" south in the light north winds (to start with anyway) along the beach to Lake Worth/Palm City. Quick ride, 37 KM in 5 hours. Here's Barb and Les Raduenz on Noor (Green Bay, WI) motoring beside us. The two of us are traveling in tandum to the Abacos.



Morning in Palm City. Spent a peaceful night on the hook. The water is much cleaner here than in Stuart. Forecast lo0ks like Sunday will be our opportunity to cross the Gulfstream.




Went ashore last night at Sailfish Marina Resort. An artsy fest was going on. $3 Beers and $1 conch fritters!! Uhmmmm.

Soft Water!!! (versus frozen that is)

Well, we drove though blizzards, rain, and fog but we made it to Florida. We are now launched and on a mooring in Stuart, waiting for the weather window to sail to West End. As of now it looks like this coming Saturday might work. There are great southerly winds forecast for Weds., but severe thunderstorms are forecast as another cold front is blasting through...


The City of Stuart operates a first class mooring facility with service dock (self-serve) for pumpout, water or general boat cleaning. Access to the downtown is super!!





One road mishap... The trailer spare tire bracket weld failed 40 miles from Stuart. Luckily, no one was hurt or hit as the wheel flew off, some how missing the boat and trailer and all traffic on both the North and South lanes of the Florida Turnpike. Could've been a bad scene......
