Boca Raton, FL ICW at anchor
We left West Palm Beach, finally, around 8. We have traversed 11 bridges. As one might expect, we played ring around the waterway killing time waiting for openings. Most opened on the hour and half hour. George Bush Memorial Bridge had a mechanical problem and they could not open until a part was brought and installed. By the time that was done there was a long line of boats waiting to pass. Fortunately the next bridge opened for the long line of boats when it was not scheduled to open. Everyone got through but us and a power boat, we had to wait 30 min. Can not win them all. We still made it to our anchorage by 3 so it was not that big a deal.
It was overcast but warm all day. We had rain a time or two , but the really hard rain did not come until we were anchored. Looks like it will be sunny and 80s for the next 5 days.
Our water got so low we had to use our jerry cans of water. Can not wait to have all the water I want to clean up the boat inside and out and me and my laundry too.
Hope we get our outboard fixed quickly as we will have to rent a truck to deliver it and pick it up from the repair man. Be nice if that could be done in the same 24 hrs but not taking bets on it. Just adds to the expense. Also hope our bow roller has arrived at the marina. Ft Lauderdale here we come.
