Jensen Beach to Lake Worth
The wind was
significantly less today than yesterday. We had an easy run from Jensen Beach
Bridge to Lake Worth. The houses along the ICW are getting bigger and the
bridges more frequent. We only had one bridge delay today. The bridge tender
was being a jerk and said we missed his opening by a minute. There was no
traffic on the bridge and had he been a nice guy he would have opened the
bridge a minute late to let us through. We knew it wouldn’t help if we tried to
get him to let us pass. So, we just loitered before the bridge for a half hour
waiting for the next opening.

| Aquarius - 300 Feet of Luxury |
Boat traffic
around Lake Worth is always busy. Today was no exception. We joined dozens of
other boats in the anchorage just south of the inlet. Many of these vessels
will be heading to the Bahamas or jumping off shore to avoid the bridges as
they continue their south bound journey.
We anchored
across from the Rybovich Yard which is a major refit facility for large yachts.
Steve Wynn’s Aquarius was docked a
few hundred yards west of us. It is for sale with an asking price of just over
$200 Million. I bet he’d settle for $175,000,000. The broker would throw in a
few placemats and have the hull waxed just to close the deal. So, there we
were, drinking our beer in the cockpit and watching the sun sink behind the
Rybovich dry docks and a few billion dollars worth of mostly foreign flagged
yachts owned by rich Americans. What a
life we live.
