West Palm Beach

Days 32-33-34
Feb 2 & 3 & 4. 2016
Tue, Wed, Thur
West Palm Beach, FL

Still waiting for dinghy outboard to be repaired. The part that was to arrive Tues from the manufacturer did not come until Wed. Another part still had not arrived but was expected today. We have not heard from Dave the repair man to know if the last of the parts have arrived or not. This is a nice anchorage but I am ready to move on. Even if we should get the motor back tomorrow our traveling companions on Journey do not want to travel on the weekend. Too much boat traffic for their liking.  So Monday looks like the soonest we will leave West Palm.  

We have had warm sunny weather so it has not been unpleasant to be here. The winds were above 20mph all day and paddling the dinghy against the wind was too much of a chore so we stayed on  board.  We had hoped to get to a laundromat as we are running out of things but it didn't happen. Maybe tomorrow we can get it done. 
I could use a quick run to the grocery store too. 

Strickland's came back Wed from a drive up to Lake Placid to visit her older brother . They enjoyed the trip, visit and motel with lots of hot water. LOL  Handleys returned from the west coast of FL and their visit with Mark's siblings Wed also. We have  been official boat watchers while everyone else is away. 

We have read, slept and relaxed enough and are ready for some more adventures. Will let you know when we finally can move on. 
Remember "Cruising is fixing boat problems in exotic places" so guess that makes us officially cruisers.
