Lake Worth. FL Waiting for Godinghy

We left Vero Beach behind on Feb. 4th and anchored in Peck Lake just south of the St. Lucie Inlet.  Peck Lake is just a wide spot in the ICW, but has a decent dinghy landing on sand with a boardwalk across to the Atlantic where a virtually deserted beach awaits the beach comber.


The next day, we motored into a light wind through the ICW to Lake Worth, heading to the far north end of the lake to drop the hook.

We have planned to stay here, spending nothing to anchor and nothing to land the dinghy, waiting for word of when our replacement dinghy will arrive and be ready for us to make the exchange.

A few days ago, Barb and I went for a dinghy exploration and when we returned and approached our boat we see, just beyond us, is it?  No!  Could it be?  Dang, it is!  WILD HORSES!  

So we have spent the last three days playing with Adel and Roger in the same place where we first met FOUR years ago!  

They hope to head for the Bahamas next week, but when we called Ted Catlow in Washington last night, he said he was headed to S/V Helen Irene (in a yard in Ft. Pierce - not Cracker Boy's, though I'm not sure) on the 25th for a week, so maybe Wild Horses will hold off their departure and wait to see Ted.  We heard from Dorothy and she should be "trawling" through here tomorrow and/or Sunday as well.  Jeeze, it is a really small world. 


Dorothy and Bill made it in Saturday night and we had a lovely visit both then and Sunday night.  We had not seen Dorothy since the San Blas (Kuna Yala) Islands of Panama and before she completed her around-the-world circumnavigation.

Bill and Dorothy guests aboard Jupiter's Smile for fine dining.... 

..... from the trawler M/V Full Circle.

 I understand the Dryden's are intending to sail from Rio Dulce to Florida aboard S/V Kwiana by mid-March.  Maybe we will still be around to see them too!


Till next time - be well!
