Away

The weather looks good and we, toghether with our buddy boat Windsong II from Canada decided, to proceed to  Lake Worth, our jump off point to the Bahamas. The plan was, to leave the boat yard on Monday March 14^th, at 9.00 am and meet up with Windsong II , coming down from Stuart on the St. Lucie river. Then we got a call, telling us, that there is dense fog in Stuart and we need to wait, until things as cleared up. About one hour later, Windsong II could move on and we got ready to go as well. We were ready to leafe, but then it turned out, that is was low tide and the bearth we were in, had a muddy ground and was only about 1.3 meters deep. We draw 1.5 meters! So toghether with some encouraged help from the engine, we finally got out of the mud and reached out for deeper waters.

Once on the St. Lucie river, we meet Bob and Sherry with Windsong II and we started our adventure, heading to Lake Worth. We were glad, we had a rising tide and no issues at Cross Roads, a spot on the ICW, which is prone to shoal. On our way towards south, there wasn’t too much traffic. Clearing  the bridges was easy, with Bob and Sherry in the lead.  It was a nice day to travel on the ICW, looking at the multi million dollar homes along the waterway.

Our anchorage at Lake Worth

Finally we got to the anchorage at Lake Worth around 5.00 pm. We prepared a cold meal, which we could eat whilst on the Altlantic Ocean.
