April 8, Stuart, FL

Today we headed north again on the ICW and passed through the north end of Lake Worth and then entered the 'ditch' at Old Port Cove and passed by some high end residential areas.

Rick Neumann handles the helm duties with skill. Lots of dodging those floats marking the fisherman's traps. We had to cut a line off the propellers once in Marathon. Wonder where we picked that up.

We passed through Jupiter and looked right out the Jupiter Inlet.

Then we turned north again at the picturesque Jupiter Lighthouse. As we cruised north we passed Burt Reynolds home and then had a big time trying to see where Greg Norman and Tiger Woods homes might be on Jupiter Island.

Gregg Norman home and boats. He is flying an American and an Australian flag to help us locate the house.

Must be tourists sitting in the sun on a sandbar in the channel.
Looks like fun!

Then past Peck's Lake anchorage and home to Stuart after a trip of approximately 25 miles..

Rick and Kathy after three weeks aboard.
Still smiling.

Wind was blowing 20 mph and the tide was running in at about 3 knots and the docking at our home dock was a little tricky. Took a couple of tries. But we made it with no bouncing and breathed a sigh of relief. 'High fives' all around.

Home after 22 days and about 600 miles. Great trip!
