I woke up to this beautiful sunrise:




Not much happened through the morning and afternoon, we motored about 8 miles off the coast of Florida to the Lake Worth inlet.
It was amazing how flat and calm it was out on the Atlantic this day:






A nice looking sailboat on this calm day:


Doug wanted to spend the morning washing the decks and polishing the stainless steel while we had these flat seas. He hooked up his deck wash system and I sprayed and rinsed as he scrubbed.


Yes the deck was coated with salt after the past few days being offshore, but Doug should have waited. That afternoon we had larger waves, not large, but enough to recoat most of the deck again in salt.

We made it to the Lake Worth inlet at 3:50pm:


After entering the Intra Coastal Waterway, we refueled at one of the first marinas. The boats were very impressive, large sport fishers, all perfectly clean, different colors, and nicely varnished teak trim. Sorry, I forgot to take a photo. After fueling, we started motoring our way south in the ICW. We are now beginning to see more mega yachts and will be going under many draw bridges. We were racing to make it under this bridge opening:


More of the typical mega yachts down here:


One of several of the nicely designed draw bridges:


We dropped anchor on the ICW in Lantana, Florida at 7:40pm.



I was hoping we would actually use the dinghy for once instead of just towing it and go grab some real food for a change at that restaurant:


Instead we had one of those frozen chicken, pasta and vegetable skillet meals diluted with tons of plain pasta. Oh well, it was nice to relax for a change since we had been offshore the past two nights. I am looking forward to getting to Ft. Lauderdale and flying home.
