Cruising to Lake Worth and onto Boca Raton

Today was an early wake-up call and we were on the water by 6:30 a.m. so that we would have time when we arrived in Lake Worth to pick up some groceries and do some laundry.  We cruised south about 65 miles and passed the towns of Lake Pierce, Jupiter, Palm City to our destination of Old Port Cove Marina.  This marina gives you a complimentary bottle of wine upon check in and has people on staff to drive you to Publix or West Marine or wherever you'd like to go during your visit.  NICE!  It was a great day on the waterway and Jupiter is especially pretty because of the turquoise blue water that laps the shore here. 

We had some tense moments docking the boat because there was a cross wind in front of the dock that blew us backwards and sideways.  Our headsets were not working properly so Richard started yelling.  When he yells, I freeze.  So, anyway, I hit an anchor on another boat and I have to pay for a new anchor because I bent one of the prongs!  Yikes!  Another exciting day on the water!

We both are anxious going into unfamiliar marinas and find this the most challenging part of dealing with our boat.  We finally settled on a tee dock at the end of the fairway here and enjoyed a nice dinner on the boat.  Tomorrow's trip is only 35 miles and we plan to stay at Boca Raton for 2 days.  We've heard from friends, Jackie & Bob, who will meet us on Sunday at Ft Lauderdale's yacht club.   We really enjoy meeting up with fellow boaters and cruising with friends.
