Carl and Nancy Meyers left today to return home to Marco Island. We enjoyed having them with us, though we now have to go on a diet to offset our on-board fine dining. We are looking forward to their return for future cruises aboard Monarch.
As we left Ft. Pierce this morning, we again saw the large sailboat previously seen in St. Augustine. It had its large ballast balls filled with water and hung from its mast, heeling the boat over to clear the 65-foot high bridge. Today, we followed them through one bridge and got to watch this feat up close. It was really something to see. It looked awfully close, but they cleared the bridge. Nearby anchored sailboat crews gave them a standing ovation!
Today's portion of the ICW had us very close to the homes. Being the day after Thanksgiving, the Christmas decorations were up on many of them.
This evening we are anchored on the north end of Lake Worth in the West Palm Beach area. Off our stern is Old Port Cove Yacht Club. Many of the DYC members will remember this as the site of many of the DYC winter parties. The marina docks are lined with many mega-yachts.
