West Palm Beach Marina after passage and squall

There was a south wind so we were lucky and it was strong enough to get us sailing for a while north from Marathon as far as we could go to a place with a good airport.  The wind dropped, the wind picked up the wind went to 42 k just before we entered the inlet at West Palm Beach.  We motored in with 10 other boats.  That was exciting, pumped up the adrenalin.   Drew had to fly to an event May 5th so it's stopped us for now.  I am in West Palm Beach with Mazu awaiting his return on Sunday.
My friend, Michelle lives here so she is showing me a great time! 
Great skies as we sailed - mares tails and a forecast of bad weather.

Finally got a so-so video of Mazu climbing the ladder out of the dinghy.  She's working on it.  She sort of crash jumps into the dinghy.  She jumps off - sometimes I catch her and other times she has a crash landing.  Oops video is too big.  Next time.

In Palm Beach we went to the Sunfest, the biggest music event in Florida and saw a variety of bands including Rusted Root.  There is also a juried art show with many booths.  There are booths from Waste Management to Ford cars, to food to clothes - just about everything.  I suggested to Drew that Sunrise Labs have a booth next year. LOL
    Michelle has shown us all of Palm Beach, Jupiter Island, MacArthur nature Park, and Hobe Sound where her mom has a house. Pretty ritzy real estate to say the least not to mention the amazingly beautiful landscape and gardens.
   Last night after dropping Drew at the airport we went to the movies, "The Railway Man" based on a true story - the terror of war and torture, but a remarkable movie with Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman.  Back to the boat to walk Mazu and fall into bed. 
Check out the Marinas page to see where we've stayed along the way.
