Anchored in Lake Worth North Palm Beach, FL
We have had constant winds from the N or NW all day. It has topped 33mph. We had a bouncy night because of the winds too. It got quite cold and at 8 this morning it was 58 in the boat. By noon the sun had warmed the cockpit up to a comfortable temperature and we spent the afternoon up top. It was sunny and with the cockpit enclosure we were protected from the strong wind so it was nice if bouncy. Tomorrow is supposed to be about the same as today. The only thing out of the ordinary that happened was a loud ping, that sounded like someones dinghy bumped us. It was our snubber coming off and our chain making noise. Lee fixed it and all was well again.
We haven't decided if we will stay here tomorrow or go on into West Palm. We will not have as much room there and with wind like this a slipped anchor could do you some harm pretty quick. We had a bad experience last year with a boat that slipped its anchor and rammed into us in the middle of the night in West Palm. Not the best holding or some people just do not know how to set their anchor. We have seen a lot of anchors we thought were on the light side for the boats they were on. That is about it, pretty boring day.
