Turquoise Waters



Finally left Vero Beach after a week...sounds familiar (see last year's blog!). Running south the water magically turns a beautiful turquoise. We were greeted by a family of dolphins playing along in our bow wave. Photo: two of the five dolphins we used as "pace fish".



These two days were spent in the 'canyons' of Jupiter, Lake Worth and Boca Raton. Houses and condos line the waterway with concrete sea walls that reverberate the waves back and forth. We went under 19 bridges just between the Stuart area and Boca Raton. Since we had lowered our mast to reduce our height to 15', we only had to have 4 bridges open for us. Tomorrow we get to do it again as we traverse the Ft Lauderdale area. Last year we went 'outside' and avoided this area but now the winds and seas are still too high.
