Bahamas Bound - Day 1. ICW to Lake Worth

Fuel Dock stuart
My view at anchor Riviera Beach

It's been a very long day today.  6am wakeup call to start the boat at the fuel dock by 7am for departure south via the ICW to Riviera Beach.  We made it at 5pm to anchor south of Peanut Island.  Next step - tomorrow we motor south again down to Fort Lauderdale to await a weather window for crossing the gulf stream.

It's Cruisers Midnight and I'm beat, so goodnight.  I'll be up again at 6a for the radio weather report and more ICW.  (today we went under 9 bridges and tomorrow has us scheduled for 18.  It's going to be a very long day!                          -skip

We wish a working barge on you. We'd be only done that inside route once...and realized that boats in charge of fixing bridges get top priority openings. We tailed onto one, got to know them on 68, they'd slow down to mske sure we were on their stern. Fastest ICW passage ever. The captain even apologized when he had to turn off.
