Rain, Rain Go Away!

We were up early and hauled anchor. It was a very quiet night with a slight breeze which was lovely for sleeping. Headed north on the ICW and I lost count after 6 bridges that we had to call for openings. They are all on different schedules. Thankfully, the internet told us all the bridge names and their schedules. One bridge was extra slow in West Palm, as there was construction and limited openings. Another day of unbelievably large houses along the ICW channel. It was much cleaner than yesterday. We tried to stop at a marina in Jupiter, but all marinas close by 5 pm. So, eventually, we stopped and anchored very close to Tiger Woods $50M home. It was a very rainy day. Put up our enclosure panels and that definitely helped. It was a motoring day and Mark was worried as water spouts were predicted and were spotted offshore. Thankfully, we were not near any of them as we stayed inside. Tomorrow's weather is much the same. The further north we go the more settled it will be we hope. We will stay in the ICW for another day or two. The poor weather has kept the majority of boaters off the ICW, which is great for us. We still experienced some huge wakes from the big boats. We also saw a lot of huge boats parked along the way.

About:
We are both computer folks that were live aboard cruisers back in the 90s. We settled in Jacksonville Florida after escaping the great white north and cruising the Bahamas, T&C, DR and points south down to Trinidad. [...]
Extra: Charabia is a French slang word for nonsense or gibberish. It derives from Arabic "sharab" which means alcohol.When you drink (too much) alcohol, you start talking Charabia. The original owners named her and Mark liked the name so it stuck.
