We left Capt. Hiram's Sebastian Marina around 8:15 am and arrived to North Palm Beach Marina around 4:30 pm. We made excellent time due to the favorable winds and currents. I have forgotten to mention that, but we have been pleased with how we've been catching the favorable currents, which help to glide us along. The morning started out cool, but by lunch, we were rolling up the stratus glass for a breeze. Our journey to Palm Beach Marina was like rolling through a canal that had some of the most luxurious homes I have ever seen. There was a constant view of gardeners and boat washers looking after the grounds and boats. It seems like the deeper we get into Florida and closer we get to Miami, the larger the boats but unfortunately the ruder the boaters. There is no such thing as a slow pass. It is eat or be eaten and if you're the larger boat than you rule. That's unfortunate but we're just passing through.
The marina we stayed at was also luxurious for the inventory of boats there. I have never seen such beautiful boats. They were huge. It made the Rhojo look like the Clampets. Ramone, our dockmaster was friendly and helpful. He drove a fast golf cart and was quick to help with a line.
We did not venture away from the dock. There was nothing close to the marina so we grilled our burgers and had cocktails on the back porch. We watched some tv and retired for the night. We want to be up early tomorrow, because we are getting anxious to get to the Keys. I am anxious about Biscayne Bay. I told Joey that if it got rough, then he will find me with my instant blow up life jacket on while sitting in the dingy.
Happy Boating
