It's a traffic jam out here! 

Everyone is headed

for their inlet for the crossing of the gulf!

I've never seen a boat like this...

so different I had to take pictures

of it coming and going!

Side view

Going :0)

I told you it was a traffic jam out here today!

Even the tugs are busy!

Do you see him?!!?

Beautiful million dollar homes along the ICW :0)

Look!  They even have a gingerbread house here!

We are at mile 1000!

You see the yellow point???

Look at next picture....

This is the house at mile 1000!

On it's own very point!

Check out the roots on this tree

For you golfers....

The PGA site is about to get very, very, wet...

Palm Beach

This is crazy!

 

Our daytime "moon"

Isn't she a beaut!

Our mooring field in Lake Worth

Billions of dollars$$$$$$

Storymaker sitting there patiently

waiting for her next journey

Gary & Bob mapping out their next journey

Every night they become "thinkers"

Our sunset

 

We made it to Fort Worth without getting rained on ~ yeah!  We stayed "one" step ahead of it all afternoon.  The morning was full of sunshine and warmth and just beautiful; the afternoon was starting to cloud up and we could see the rain coming but managed to stay one step ahead of it.  We dropped anchor about a half hour before the rain, but as it turned out, it wasn't much anyway! 

 

We actually got yelled at over the VHF radio this morning on channel 16.  We were leaving Vero's mooring field and I guess we were going a little too fast for one of the locals.  I can't imagine "safety Bob" being wild and crazy in a mooring field but it happened....all of a sudden on channel 16 we heard "Hey catamaran slow down there are manatees in here!"  I looked around and we were the only cat in the area at the time (Gary was still playing with his ball) that was moving, so we slowed down even more! 

 

We have to thank one of our friends for taking care of his idiot friends Bob & Lynn!  When we visited with Gordon & Debbie we ended up leaving our Abacos book behind and they were kind enough to ship it priority mail to us here in Lake Worth, so tomorrow, we will be bikin' to pick it up!  Thanks again Gordon & Debbie!

 

I have to admit I'm starting to get a little nervous.  We are getting ready to make our trek across the gulf (which I'm OK with) it's the turning off of the internet and phone that's really freaking me out.  Both my phone and internet get turned off on November 22nd.  Bob's phone will still be available until we start heading across the gulf stream, however, internet is another story!  Let's hope my internet booster works!  and I figure out how to download the program I need to use my single

side band!  So tomorrow is going to be a big, big work day for both Bob and I.  (Are you available by any chance Randy??!!! I could sure use your help about right now!)

 

In meantime, we are enjoying life to the fullest and eager to be in the Bahamas!
