Jupiter

We left the mooring ball about 8:00.  We are trying to get to Lake Worth by Friday night.  It is 60 miles but in a sail boat that is about 10 hours.  So we talked it over last night the Carolyn and John on Indulgence and agreed to go as far as Jensen Beach which was about half way.  However, we got to Jensen Beach around 1:00 so we changed plans.  We were afraid we were going to get to Lake Worth at 8:00 and would have to anchor in the dark.  We opted to stop at a Marina in Jupiter Fl.  It is a tiny marina but very pleasant.  We bumped on a sand bar coming into the Marina.  One of the guys on a boat next to the entrance told us to back up and get a running start and we might make it.  I thought not George!  But yes we did, we plowed our way through.

Remember our favorite phrase " the boat's tied to the dock It's time for a
Cold One"

  We ordered pizza for dinner.  George and I had pizza last year the night before we crossed so this may need to be a tradition.  You are so tired after you cross the Gulf Stream it is really quick to warm up in a frying pan.  We also called Jan and John B and the pat did come in and John B installed it with out any problem.  Our trip tomorrow should only take a couple of hours, so maybe S V Graduate will join us for the crossing.  We plan to start across some time Friday evening.

How would you like to play golf on this Golf course 

I think it is called wind surfing

Most people have a boat in their front yard in this hood!
Tiger wood lives somewhere close.
