We pulled up anchor this morning and very quickly it began to rain. Just enough to to be ugly!! We traveled most of the day in rainy conditions. We had such great plans to be at a perfect anchor spot but that did not happen!!! Wind slowed us down, but most of all every bridge that had to open for us was a 30 min wait!!! Waiting 30 mins for 4 bridges today put us about 2 hours behind schedule. We got caught in downtown Boca Raton and NO PLACE TO ANCHOR at 6:30pm. The entire downtown area is lined with cement walls!!! We finally found what we thought was a decent place but high winds our anchor would not hold us. We move about 300 yds down in fron to a big sky scraper bldg, this we thought would be good!!! By now it's 8:30pm we are exhausted, worried about the wind and no supper eaten yet!! YUCK,!!!
I started the generator and was preparing supper, (hotdogs, that I really wanted on the grill) and then the generator cuts off!!! OK, what else can happen. No time to evaluate that problem tonight so we were thankful before it quit we had hot chili and hotdogs!!! yeah!!
We ate and watched the boat to make sure it was safe, and stable!!! Sure seem to be so we went to bed. I was just to tired to write the blog, no shower, just went to bed!!! PS the anchor didn't hold soooo
I'll tell you about today's adventures tonight!!!
Please pray for our safe travels, and the health of our boat!!
Love to all, Fran & Capn Rod
God gave us a beautiful sunrise!!
Then we had rain and clouds the rest of the day!
So glad we had a few mins of sun and blue skies when we came by Jupiter Lighhouse
