We left our slip in Stuart, Florida on Friday and sailed to Peck Lake. Peck Lake is a very cool anchorage that allowed us to anchor in a protected spot and take the dinghy in to shore to the beach! We had 2 fun filled sunny days! Sun, yoga, walks on the beach and time to read! Friday night we were treated to one of mother natures magnificent shows- non-stop lightening. We were on the fringes of a big storm and could see lightening every direction we looked. Did you know that Florida leads the nation in lightening strikes? NM is second.
Today we headed further south to West Palm Beach. We are tucked in an anchorage in Lake Worth. As we traveled South the landscape along the ICW changed dramatically- opulence is a word that a guide book used and I think conveys the atmosphere quite nicely. I've never seen so many mansions in pastel yellow!
We are poised to hop over to the Bahamas, but will not do so until mother nature provides the window. We are watching local weather and Tropical Storm Sandy.
We just learned there is a boat show in Fort Lauderdale- might be a good place to explore until Mother Nature gives us the go!

So how long does it take to "hop" over to the Bahamas once you get underway. And is that an official nautical term :-) ?
