Hurry Up and Wait

We left the nice little anchorage about 6 am because we knew this was "bridge day" Thirteen bridges that had to open for us and they open on their schedule, not ours.

We made the first one right on time but we had to wait on most to if the others. Some we missed by 2 minutes...if you're not very near the fender system when the bridge opens most of the time you're not going to make it. Guess the bridge tenders have strict rules about opening early, late or holding. Most of them follow the rules but some will give you a little slack. The only time they're required to deviate from the schedule is for commercial traffic or an emergency. I'll spare you a blow by blow description but it took us 10 hours to travel 40 miles.

We anchored in Lake Worth along with 17 other boats. Had a brisk wind and a moderate chop but Phil again did a good job of setting the anchor.

Here's a few pictures in the anchorage.

This is a moon shot. Had to get a good one.

That's all folks. Upload is taking too long.
