Well we tried to do the crossing. Even waited till nearly noon before going out but the conditions were rock and roll. Not dangerous and doable but very uncomfortable and especially for Karen. We went about 3 miles offshore and called it quits. Our posse went on without us. Best of luck to them and I should hear from them tomorrow.
We ran back to the inlet and through a gauntlet of law enforcement before arriving at North Lake Worth. This is almost like Vero Beach but no bus. You have to dinghy to a little sand spit below the A1A bridge then walk a half block to a mall with a Publics grocery -- a VERY LARGE PUBLICS. Remember this is Palm Beach Florida.
Ohh this also the hole of JAck Nicholas and other PGA greats. That's why it is called PGA Boulevard.
The next crossing window is Monday so we won't have to wait long. The anchorage here is not too crowded since so many folks left yesterday and today for a crossing. More will fill in till Monday.
We are not alone. Victoria Gaye from the original Posse is also here but at the Old Port Cove Marina. Buck is sill testing his boat to be sure the vibration issue is resolved before attempting a crossing. Hopefully they will join us on Monday.
Gauntlet of law enforcement? This has got to be the icing on the cake for law enforcement. Circling he anchorage this morning we had 3 Florida Wildlife boats with 3 officers each, a Palm Beach Police boat with 3 officers, a Homeland Security boat with 2 officers, and a Coast Guard boat with 6 persons. Just circling and occasionally stopping passing boats to check them.. Unbelievable!! Just associating with the law abiding tax paying folks. Probably wouldn't want to associate with known criminal areas.
