We checked out of the marina this morning and motored south on the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway). I pointed out the interesting sights for Mac as we motored along. The picture is of Lou's boat which is also Lou's home. I met Lou at Cracker Boys boat yard and found him a very interesting and informative guy. He was very helpful in describing the ins and outs of surviving on the water while in the Lake Worth area. He has lived on this boat for years and appears very happy.
We then cruised out of the Lake Worth Inlet and experience being in the Atlantic Ocean. It was not scary and was not much different from being on Lake Superior. We saw dolphins and some ray type fish that were leaping out of the water. The breakers and the surf were big because the waves were running 2 - 4 feet at 7 sec. That means the waves were rollers rather than close together waves and thus easy to navigate in. What a fun day!
After experiencing the ocean we motored back in and anchored in 12 ft up at the north end. We dinghy-ed in to shore and went to Starbucks. It's brats on the grill tonight. Life just gets better and better.
