Today was another beautiful, calm day on the outside, as we traveled from Key Biscayne to Lake Worth (West Palm Beach). Wind was 5 to 10 knots and the only waves were wakes from other boats. We traveled 76 Nautical Miles in about 7 hours making for a shorter day than yesterday.
As we approached Everglades Inlet (Fort Lauderdale) we were hailed by a US Navy Vessel and asked to detour around an area where we later discovered a submarine was performing maneuvers.
Shortly after that, we passed closely by the SpaceX Dragon Capsule Revovery Vehicle, Megan. Now, what makes these two incidents remarkable, is that our eldest daughter, Lisa, works for the US Navy, and our youngest, Hannah, works for SpaceX! So cool to see vessels from each in such close proximity.
After anchoring in Lake Worth, we took the dinghy over to Peanut Island. Wow! This place is pretty nice and we wish we had allocated more time to visit. Maybe next year on our way to the Bahamas we can spend a little more time here.
Tomorrow we continue to take advantage of good weather and head outside to Fort Pierce. It will be a short trip, only about 51 Nautical Miles.
