March 23, 2012 - Hobe Sound, Florida

Today takes us through the city of Boca Raton, with its iconic pink hotel tower.
Boynton Beach’s Two Georges Restaurant, right on the Intracoastal, brings back fond memories of dining there with Jerry’s dad, who lived nearby.
Palm Beach is a crowded harbor, with the Boat Show in process.
Here’s the home of railroad magnate Henry Flagler, now a museum. He built the railroad all the way to Key West, completed 100 years ago.
This is a new way to travel, towing a small craft which houses the pumps to power this airborne ride.
At the popular picnic spot Peanut Island, you can pack your own lunch or try this floating gourmet restaurant.
We had heard on the radio that Flagler Bridge was the scene of an accident; we were surprised to see this sailboat, just towed by the Coast Guard, with its buckled mast – apparently, it had run into the 17 foot-high bridge!
Folks were getting an early start on the weekend, staked out on this sandbar.
Jupiter Inlet was crowded with boats of all sizes and dredging equipment. We made our anchorage in Hobe Sound, a quiet, wide spot in the Intracoastal.
