Thurs. & Fri
Ft Pierce to North Palm Beach
mm965 to 1014
Day 27 Ft Pierce
Little to say. It rained and rained. We had hoped we could travel some today but no luck. There is water leaking several places in the master berth but we can not figure out where or how it is getting in. The rug and mattress both got wet.
Day 28. Ft Pierce to North Palm Beach
Finally the rain quit. It was overcast a lot of the day but the sun did peek out some. It was not hot but we were not freezing either. We left right at 7 hoping to make it all the way to West Palm Beaches anchorage. We lost and hour and a half getting our turn at the fuel dock and water. That messed us up with the open on schedule bridges and so we did not get quite to where we wanted to. We will get the last 8 miles to West Palm tomorrow morning. We will give Windbirds owners a lift to shore since their dinghy motor is down and then we will go to shore too to the Farmers Market which is right across the road from the anchorage.
We made good time and were on schedule with bridges until we stopped to get water, fuel, and a pump out. Most marinas had some but not all of those things. When we got to the one we found that had it all they were fueling up a 65ft boat and we had to wait. By the time they took care of Journey and Sea Turtle we had lost almost 1 1/2 hours. We thought it was too late to go on to the last timed bridge because we would miss it by a few minutes and have to wait almost an hour for the next opening at 6:15. We called it a day and dropped anchor at 4 in North Palm.
