We left Stuart this morning and had a wonderful farewell from 3 dolphins. Two swam along one bow and the other swam right in front of the other bow. This dolphin kept looking up at me and coming up for air many times. The water was like glass so we could see the 3 dolphins so well. A small day boat beside us had children on board and they were so excited taking pictures.
Before we left we filled up our catamaran with fuel so we are very low in the water. As we eat, drink and travel we will rise up a little. The fuel in Nassau is not as clean as here so we wanted to top up before we left. We are now anchored in Lake Worth, FL. We will go on the outside tomorrow from the inlet here to Port Everglades up to Ft. Lauderdale. We have a reservation at New River Downtown Marina there. It is the weekend and many boats are also awaiting to travel the Gulf right now. We needed a reservation for peace of mind.
The last stop for us yesterday was yet again another Home Depot... see my beautiful herb garden, basil, oregano and 2 kinds of parsley. My "pet" palm tree was lonely! The herbs will last as long as we don't eat too many of their leaves.
I took a photo of Paul at the bow checking the anchor ... this was taken on purpose so you see our view from above in our fly bridge.
And this photo are the giant Explorer Chartbooks we bought that was recommended before leaving. I put Paul's phone on the cover of one so you get perspective on our big they are..... (not bedtime reading!)
Yes, the radar is up and working along with all four solar panels, we are doing great!!
