Day 25: West Palm Beach, FL - Fort Lauderdale, FL

October 22, 2017

West Palm Beach, FL - Fort Lauderdale, FL (41 miles)

Last night was an awful night of sleep!  I was awake much of the night because the boat was rocking like crazy because the slip we were in was not protected from the strong inter-coastal currents.  It was so bad I kept having nightmares that the boat let loose and physically got up to check multiple times.


Today marks the last day of travel before heading out into Atlantic waters.  The only marina with open slips was deep within the channel, probably two miles inland.  Hopefully, that means we'll get a good nights rest!  The channel is fairly narrow, maybe 60 feet, and not very deep.


It's kind of nerve wracking going through it especially when we get to a bridge that doesn't open and isn't very high.   As we were approaching it we held our breath looking at the top of the boat to make sure we would clear it.  We do with less than a foot left.  EEEKS!

We met up with Jim one more time at a restaurant right on water then enjoyed a HOT shower and a peaceful nights sleep!
