12.29.08 island near St Lucie Inlet

Here’s an example of some of the wakes we have to deal with at times.  Diane took this picture of us as we went thru the bridge and past the lighthouse near Jupiter Inlet. I spent most of the day snapping pictures of the passing sailboats. I love the “liveaboard” look most of them have. We are anchored behind an island near St Lucie Inlet. There are several boats here as well as kayaks….and campers.  and ended the day with a beautiful sunset. You can see the sandbar between us and the ICW channel. There were a couple of boats beached on it and the kids tossed balls while the parents sat in beach chairs in the water. Dolphins cruised thru several times.

We had another beautiful sunrise. We were in a small man made lake with homes all around us. We are getting pretty unique in our spots to take Raisin ashore. She’s getting good at being set ashore from the dingy …taking care of business and getting back to the boat. I keep a leash on her and I dont have to go ashore….so parks and vacant lots with high seawalls will work. But we much prefer beaches.

Most of the cruising was pretty good. Not too many fast boats out until mid day. Lake Worth Inlet was pretty busy. I love sailboats.

We anchored in Palm Beach. The water was very rough. Lots of wakes from passing boats and some wind….it calmed down after dark and the slight rocking put us right to sleep.

We found an early anchorage so we could get off the water early. Good traveling until mid day. Saw a couple of unusual homes. and I guess a man’s home is his castle.I like the kayaking partner the first kayak has..
