Lake Worth to Delray Beach

Left Lake Worth at daybreak with a gentle easterly and partly cloudy start to the day.
Passed by an impressive wooden sailing boat,  "Peacemaker" for sale at the harbour entrance.
Got beat up by rough seas outside, so I turned tail and headed back down the ICW. Have a look at my saloon after my foray outside.
I forgot to latch the starboard berth in place. I got pretty wet yesterday, but today the weather looked good so I didn't wear my wet weather gear. Big mistake. I got drenched through and through and ended up getting cold as well. I gave up when my iPad ran out of juice and refused to charge. Right now, I have my hook down in Pelican Harbour, which is like a small lake with luxurious houses skirting the perimeter. Tomorrow I will try again to get to Miami.

Stuart to Lake Worth, Florida

After a month in Stuart, the boat was yearning to move, so off to warmer climes. Wet and cold for the trip down the ICW today. In fact my Nexus got wet and the microUSB port got fried.
Tomorrow I hope to sail down to Dinner Key in Miami to wait for a weather window to make the jump across the Gulf Stream.
