Saturday 2/15 we left Stuart headed further south in order to be ready to make the crossing to the Bahamas during the next weather window.
We anchored in North Palm that afternoon and stayed 3 nights waiting for a good weather window. Unfortunately, the wind was not cooperating so we decided move on further south to Lake Worth Tuesday morning via the Intercostal Waterway.
Beach party!
Only one side of this bridge was working and the other was being repaired. Bridgetender advised us to come on through!
Coming into Lake Worth. Lots of ships and Super Mega Yachts.
Peanut Island was a real treat. The entire island is a city park. Those without a boat take a ferry over. They even have small boat and dingy docking!
Winds are still an issue, so we moved from Lake Worth to Boca Raton Anchorage for one night, then up Thursday morning 2/20 headed to Ft. Lauderdale City Marina on the New River where we tied up on the Riverwalk.
Stopped at Cox's Landing on the way in for a free pump out!
We ended up being just two boats away from the spot we had last year when the crane collapsed and crashed down onto the bridge.
Not all the action was on the sidewalk.....there were mega yachts being pulled and pushed up and down the river by tugs.
The park bench just outside the boat was very popular....we even had an overnight guest! Yep, he was still there the next morning.
Sunday, Willy's birthday we decided to make it a fun day and we packed the dingy and rode to the dingy dock just at the Las Olas Blvd. bridge, walked across the bridge to the beach!
We got to watch the cruise ships leaving Ft. Lauderdale!
The winds looked to finally be winding down and we left the Ft. Lauderdale City Riverwalk dock Tuesday 2/24 to move out to Lake Sylvia in preparation to cross over to West End at Grand Bahama where we have a reservation on Thursday at Old Bahama Bay Marina.
