West End - U.S.A., June 22 - 24

Plans, they are a wonderful thing, but sometimes one needs a backup plan and ours was to wait for a weather window to cross the Gulfstream to Palm Beach.  We found ourselves with 2 other sailboats waiting for the perfect day.  Monday we woke, JP strolled to the point and reported that with the white caps, today was not the day.  We rented bikes and rode into town, went swimming and just enjoyed our day.

Maybe tomorrow/Tuesday…..  We woke to find one sailboat departing and the next one getting ready.  We decided today is the day, but first a proper breakfast.  56.59 NM later we tied up to Sailfish Marina/Palm Beach and bought fuel.  It was 1:10 PM and since it was so beautiful on the outside, we headed back out and continued north to the St Lucie Inlet, another 30.43 NM.  We dropped the anchor and spend our first night back in the U.S.A.
