Well the crossing never happened for us this morning. We didn't even try. The wind was supposed to be 5kts or less all night and it was between 10 - 15 instead. The seas need time to settle after all the strong wind we have had for the past two days. There were some showers in the area with more predicted. I decided this window was a "no go" for us but several "salty sailors" left. That left us and one other cruiser here in the anchorage with a dozen derelict boats.
Well to offset that disappointment we decided to splurge and head into the 5 star marina here called Old Port Cove in North Palm Beach -- Tiger Woods used to keep his yacht here. Many golf stars still do. On one dock alone here there is probably a billion dollars worth of Sport Fishing Yachts all impeccably maintained.
We came in around 10am and fueled up before heading into a slip -- it is tight here but the docks are fabulous floating construction.
We checked in and received a free bottle of wine -- your choice Red or White. Well it is free.
After relaxing and a nap in the Air Conditioning -- oh it is 85 degrees here today I cleaned the cockpit cushions and the front of the deck around the anchor. More cleaning tomorrow but with a FREE shuttle to the Publix -- time for some goodies because we are still fully provisioned.
Oh shower facilities are fantastic. Super clean and very cool temps. I think I'll take 2 showers tonight!
We plan to stay just a couple of days then back on the anchor to wait for the next weather window which is looking like Wednesday right now -- but that is a long way off.
Karen will post some pictures of this place on her Facebook page.
