We finally left the Miami Area and are now headed back north. It is a bitter sweet departure! We met so many great people while in Miami and will miss them tremendously, however, it was time to leave. We will be back!!!!! We are currently in Jenson Beach and hope to be in Melbourne or Cocoa by the weekend. We have learned to use the tides to our advantage and that is really helpful. We have long days and short days and this will continue on for the next several days to come. Today was a short day, with only 6 bridges and a pretty rough inlet. Anyone who plans to travel through Jupiter inlet, be aware there are 2 bridges on either side of the inlet that rise very slowly. We planned it at a slack high tide and it was not to bad. On the way down, we almost took out the Jupiter Federal bridge the current was so strong! On the positive side, they have dredged the inlet and there is good water through the inlet now. A cold front is scheduled to arrive sometime on Sunday, so we will most likely head to a marina for a couple of days. For those who are monitoring this, I will do better of posting stuff - I have been slack!
