Palm Beach

April 21, 2011-another long day.  In a word, a non -stop no wake zone.  The AICW from

Peck Lake to Palm Beach is a continuous no wake zone.  23.51 nautical miles today and it took us four hours. We have arrived at our final destination- Lake Park

 Harbor Marina.  While at anchor last night, around midnight we were awakened by what sounded

like drunks on a sailboat next to us.  In fact, they were trying to tell us that we were

adrift!  We had pulled anchor in a stiff wind.  It was a tense few minutes, but we re-

anchored and got control of the situation. Not much sleep after that.  We rewarded

the sailboat crew with a bottle of wine in the morning.  They were a husband, wife and

son on a six month cruise.  Another sailboat (the Gayle Warning) hailed us in the

morning, and the wife was born in Houma.  Her father worked for Sun Oil in the

70s.  A small world.  We fly home Sunday, and will leave Moondance here.  We are

close to Lake Worth Inlet, which is 59 miles from the Bahamas.  When we return, that is

our next trek.  Total distance traveled from Sarasota-212.2 nautical miles.  

The future Barkmore?

Interesting sights!
