Well the NOAA weather man was calling for 10-15 out of the east, and 3-5 ft seas out of the NE. The "Naval Wave" site called for the seas to be out of the ESE. I should have listened to the Navy!!! The seas were 3-5 out of the east along with the wind. Which made for a bit of a rolly ride heading SSW. Then the winds crapped out and went to the south. It went from a 7-8 knot ride to a 4-5 knot ride. So instead of a long ride to Miami, it turned into a moderate ride to Ft. Lauderdale. "Xanadu" and I decided it would be wiser to quit early rather than come into the Port of Miami after dark!!!!!! SO here we sit in Lake Sylvan, Ft Lauderdale. With a trawler with 8 gay guys( I am not guessing they came over and said Hi), in front of us and a boat full of nude people to side of us, ain't Florida grand? :)

Well we are on the move again. We filled the water tanks this morning and headed out. The wind had dropped, but the seas outside were still 8-10 ft, so down the ditch we go. It is just 34 miles from Stuart to West Palm/Lake Worth Inlet,so off we go with "Xanadu", and "On Watch", both catamarans, it looked like a catamaran parade. The only bad thing was the 6 or so draw bridges between here and there. And it only gets worse from here south, so tomorrow we will go outside for the run to South Beach (Miami). About 63 miles so should be a nice trip.
Be Well and Following Seas

Well we are still in Stuart, Fl hanging on a mooring ball. We had a great visit with the family. Madison caught a bunch of cat fish off the back of the boat which was the excitement of the visit!
We are now waiting for the weather to to change a bit. As it is currently blowing 20-25 knts out of the North, and the seas are 10'-12'. Not something I care to go out in as a choice :). The plan is to head out on Saturday, with a stop in Lake Worth, then go outside to Miami and then turning east at the first chance! So unless something changes, I will be checking in this week end from the Keys or at least South Miami
