After two glorious months in the Bahamas, we crossed back to the U.S.A. on March 8-9, arriving in Lake Worth on Friday afternoon. The weather was calm so we took advantage of the opportunity to sail and motor straight through. It was a full moon night and the winds were almost nonexistent. The waters were flat and calm and the motor took us through the night without any problems. We did some star gazing and took turns at the helm while the other one tried to rest/sleep. It was 28 hours and 169 miles from Treasure Cay in the Abacos to Lake Worth inlet, Florida.
We've since returned to Sunset Bay Marina to visit with the kids and grandkids again, celebrate their birthdays, visit with our Erie friends “The Gunther's” who were touring Florida all month, attend Linda's niece Nicole's baby shower, and to be here for the arrival of Linda's son Louis who just moved down, too.
It's April now and the boat traffic seems to consists mostly of all those preparing to have their boats lifted for the summer and head home somewhere. There are several boat yards in this area that are equipped to pull and store the thousands of snowbird boats. We're already home so we just need to get back out there and resume exploring the Florida coast. We'll be heading south again soon and look forward to telling you all about it!
Key West here we come!
