Lake Worth, last full day on the east coast

Yesterday, we were informed via TV of the despicable bombing of the Boston Marathon. We saw flags at half-mast along the way through Palm Beach today. Hopefully, the idiot(s) responsible will be quickly collared and made to pay.


Our own little part of the world moved along the waterway again today, as we will for pretty much every day until we end up in Sarasota. We left Sands Harbor Marina in Pompano Beach at 0930 in good weather and ran the ICW north along the Gold Coast through Delray Beach, Hillsborough beach, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and a few others.

We were all impressed one more time with the other-worldliness of the mega-homes and yachts we encountered along the waterway. The agglomeration of mega-yachts in West Palm was especially eye opening.

Tonight finds us safely anchored in Lake Worth north of West Palm Beach with Calypso’s big Rocna anchor with Seminole rafted alongside. Steak dinner was served aboard Seminole after being cooked aboard Calypso.

Tomorrow will be an early underway as we hope to make around 55 miles to Indiantown Marina in the Saint Lucie Canal west of Stewart.

And fini for the Miss Patricia
