About 1:30 we entered the cut with barges, cruise ships standing by, ocean going tugs, various pleasure craft, with the wind suddenly picking up when we made the turn to 20 knots...wouldn't you know it... The decision had been made and we stuck with it. As soon as we entered this congested harbor we made a starboard turn to go through the 17th Street Bridge Hourly Opening in order to get to the only potential small boat anchorage. Felt like we were in the middle of a beehive!!! Captain Ron loved it!
It is so exciting to view the various beaches from the ocean perspective. I think this is Boca Raton...

It is a beautiful morning on the Atlantic Ocean. The flying fish are skimming along beside us, but are impossible to capture on camera...We are taking this ocean route to avoid some of the numerous ICW bridges on this part of the Waterway.
This big mega yacht dropped anchor right beside us in the Lake Worth anchorage just south of Peanut Island. This was surprising since these big guys usually go into the dock...in a few moments a sea tow boat showed up with divers who went to work below...they left about an hour later to go into the docks...
