oh, those hard decisions

Yes, we all have to make them sometimes.  Dad is home but the recuperation is slow.  We have accepted the fact that I should be nearer instead of further.  So, for now, we will stay in the US.  Maybe in a few weeks we will cross to the Bahamas for a short visit, but we won't be going just yet.  Maybe we'll see the Keys this year!

The cruiser anchorage in Lake Worth is surrounded by beautiful, luxury homes. 

And luxury boats.

We are still going to Miami tomorrow, weather permitting.  So, to save time, we brought Latitudes back the 4 miles (1 hour...) from our anchorage to the small anchorage area near the inlet channel, where we anchored when we came in from Vero Beach.  As we approached the anchor field, we heard a call announcing that the 192 ft  motor yacht "Islander" was entering the channel, headed north on the ICW, towards us....).  And yes, it was...except it ran around!

A TowBoat US boat helped show us the way around the grounded ship.  But, boy, how nice to realize that even high-priced captains of gazillion dollar boats can run around! snicker...

Along our way we saw the racing catamaran, Rambler.   A beautiful 100 ft racing vessel, she capsized a few years ago in a major race. For the story, click here

Back to the working docks of Lake Worth.

And the large shipping vessels that rock little Latitudes on their way in!

So, tomorrow we shall leave at the crack of dawn again to try to make the 70 nm outside run to Miami.  And hopefully, catch some fish along the way!
