Riding The Magic Carpet

After spending five days at the Hollywood Marina while visiting Mom; we threw off the lines and headed to the Port Everglades Inlet to sail up the coast to Lake Worth. Jim responded to Neptune's call and headed towards some disturbed water about 3 1/2 miles offshore. There we found a favorable current that moved us North at 9+ knots! The water was a beautiful midnight blue color and was 500 feet deep. What a glorious day!
Until ......we entered Lake Worth inlet. It was Sunday afternoon with almost 90 degree temps. You can't even imagine the number of boats and jet skiis we had to dodge around Peanut Island. We finally anchored in North Palm Beach around 1600. Invited Greg from "Argonauta" over for dinner; and fell asleep early after a great day! Today we weighed anchor at 0815; and motored North on the ICW through 6 bridges to anchor by the Jupiter Island Club where friends Judy and Ken live. There is a strong front coming through; so we will be here til at least Wednesday. We are looking forward to the cooler temps that the front will bring with it.

Jim, are you holding out on the pictures of fish that you caught in the stream?
From the looks of the weather reports you're not going to get much good stuff. We got two inches of the white s**t and 20 deg morning temps this week. Quite the letdown after some relatively nice weather. Oh well it's spring in western NY.
