We took advantage of the deserted beach, good waves and warm water. Steve is sporting his "invisible" bathing suit for a morning body surfing session.
Fine Line at anchor in Peck Lake. We would have stayed longer but the nasty "no-see-ums" ate us alive. We are having a bite contest. So far, Anne is the winner with 25 + bites.
This is the view from the anchorage trail to the beach.
From here we headed south to Lake Worth in West Palm Beach. We stayed one day to wait out rain and wind. Thursday we left at 0645 for Ft. Lauderdale. It took us 10 hours to motor 55 miles. We passed under 23 bridges that required opening for our tall mast. Some bridges open every 30 minutes and some on request. Some bridge operators are nice and some are grumpy....we try to be really friendly because they can ruin your day.
We are right downtown in Old Ft. Lauderdale. There are many megayachts here and great eateries. We will hang out here for a week or so and then head south to check out South Beach in Miami.
Over and out from the crew and the skipper.
PS, Steve dropped his cell phone in the head. He fished it out but it is not quite right? Call Anne's cell if you need to speak with him or Anne, 760-473-1221. He is not allowed to take my phone to the head so leave a msg. if we don't answer.

Happy new year Anne and Steve! I got your card and could not believe you guys packed up and left... and in a cat no less! Sounds and looks like a great adventure. I am no where close to retiring and have to live vicariously though your pictures and Google earth. I will keep in touch... do you have an e-mail address?

Hi Mike,
So nice to hear from you. We have two internet emails: captainclean@hotmail.com and walkinganne@sbcglobal.net. Once we leave the east coast (end of Feb) we will use our SSB radio for email. We are getting Cruisemail setup in the next few days and will send the email address once established.
We love this new adventure so far.
Anne
