Jan. 6, 2009 Tues. - After 6 weeks ashore we are back aboard and moving south. Sunny and hot, strong south winds. Motored south to Palm Beach anchoring at Phil Foster Park. Water here is crystal clear and 75. Snorkeled a while, quiet nite.
Wed.- Partly sunny and warm again, lo 80's still strong south winds. Motored south thru Lake Worth, anchored in Pellican Harbor, near DelRay Beach. Small circular lake surrounded by condos, but great protection with bad weather expected. Strong winds and some showers with passage of front. Winds shifted to north bringing cooler weather.
Thurs.- Sunny but cooler, lite north wind. high of 74. Motor thru Fort Lauderdale past the huge cruise ships. anchor in South Lake at Hollywood Beach. The past 3 days have taken us thru an area you never get to see by car. The Mansions line the shoreline at every turn. We have covered 95 miles and passed thru 28 drawbridges in 3 days, have had to wait for quite a few as many are on a half hour schedule. I can see why many boaters avoid this section of the icw and run the ocean for this stretch. Will enter the Keys today and only have 6 more bridges to pass thru. Plan on staying at Key Biscayne tonight after passing thru Miami.
