All Tucked In

We are tucked into Loblolly Marina.  It is a membership type of Marina with a few transient wells in Hobe Sound, a town south of Stuart.  The weather is supposed to get very bad tonight high winds lightening etc.  and although we thought about anchoring in Peck Lake across the way we decided to take the safer option of being tied to a dock. I am ready to go lay on the solar panels if the hail they are predicting comes!!! 
This is the view from the back deck......a 60 foot beauty!

Gary reminded me that I got my wish.  I'm like, huh???  He said "remember when you said you would rather be the worst boat in the nicest marina"  and the light went on.  I did say that.  Well it's true. Would you rather be the nicest boat in the worst marina, or the worst boat in the nicest marina??  Think about it.


We anchored in Boca Raton last night with friends Elaine and Lawrence (this taken Tuesday night in Marine Stadium)  They are stalking us....or maybe we are stalking them!!   Just kidding guys.
They have had their share of storms already with the one that caught them off guard on Monday, since they are on a sailboat and can't quite keep up with us, although they really made a effort today, they are spending the night tonight anchored in Lake Worth.  It didn't look like the storms were going to go that far south.  Hopefully we'll meet up again tomorrow or the next day.  Safe is better than sorry.



We went through Palm Beach today, once again an experience not easy to forget.  Between the 'palaces' and the mega yachts your eyes get overwhelmed.  These are a few that caught our eyes....
Loved this 'Fantail" yacht.  Had a bit of  class .

Steve Jobs, 256 foot , $140 million dollar (houseboat??), VENUS, that was finished after he died and just came into Palm Beach on Monday. Google Mega Yacht Venus if you want info.


'Fountainhead'  was at the Port of Miami...a 287 foot Feadship owned by Mark Cuban a 'self made' Billionaire!!  She was a BEAUTY

When we make it to Merritt Island I will try and put together a slide show with the sights along the waterway. For now I'll call it a day....

By the way it is only sprinkling...our guarantee for a wrong weather forecast is paying for a slip in a marina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
