Stuart, Fl to Palm Beach, Fl

Total Miles Traveled 1496

We have spent the last 5 days at the St Lucie Lock Park waiting for a weather window to cross sixty two miles of the Atlantic Ocean to the Bahamas.  During our stay, we attended the Stuart Boat Show and met fellow boaters “Bee Haven”, “Miss My Money”, and “Cat Daddy”.

We met two other boats “The Lower Place” and “Rascal’s Retreat”, both current loopers, that were also at the St Lucie Lock waiting to cross to the Bahamas.  We all travel at the same cruising speed and have decided to make the crossing together. 

Departing the park and approaching the St Lucie Lock this morning.

We cruised 47 miles today and anchored near Palm Beach, Fl at Lake Worth.  We plan to leave at 5 a.m. in the morning from the Lake Worth inlet and cross to Grand Bahama Island at West End.  We plan to spend the next few weeks exploring the Abaco Islands and Cays.
