WEST PALM BEACH



A Long Day of waiting for Bridges to open...tedious!



The Chiquita banana ship is ready to deliver their bananas :-)





  

Sailor friends, notice the carbon fiber mast on the boat next to us....supposedly, that is the bees knees!

We spent a loooonnnng day waiting at about 25 bridges from Ft. Lauderdale to West Palm Beach. The treat at the end of our day, was that our daughter, Keri, and family are vacationing on Singer Island and were able to join us for pizza. We got to see our precious grandsons, Charlie and Georgie.

A really neat thing happened this afternoon. At the south end of Lake Worth, we heard a call go out on the VHF radio that a boat had picked up a dog swimming out in the middle of the lake. Shortly afterward, a small boat hailed us and asked of we had seen the dog. We told them that a call had gone out about the rescued dog. Anyhow, all the boaters in the area worked the radio to get the owner of the dog in touch with the rescuers. Evidently, the dog had fallen off the boat and the owners had not noticed right away......dumb people!!! At least, it was a happy ending.

We are at Palm Harbor Marina tonight. It is close to a lot of restaurants and entertainment. It is a very pretty area.
