Anniversary Weekend

We decided to do chores on Friday so we could have fun on Saturday for our anniversary.  After Ray cleaned the outside and Linda cleaned the inside of the boat, we gathered laundry and walked to the office to check in on the way to the laundry facility.  While in the office, Norm from "True Loev" walked in.  He was picking up a package he had delivered there but their boat was back in Miami.  So they drove to the laundry facility and sat with us while we did laundry, then drove us back to our boat so they could show us all of their favorite anchorages in the southeast. 
On Saturday we were getting cabin fever with the morning rains.  We headed to the beach via bicycles and got sprinkled on just a little bit.  We sat at Quarterdeck for a snack and waited for our friends from Murphy to walk by like they did last time we were sitting there.  With no such luck we walked out to the beach to see what the waves were like for anchoring off of the Tortuga Music Festival including Kenny Chesney for the last act on Saturday.  The waves were only about two footers, but the other boats did not look like they were getting a comfortable ride out there. 
Somehow it always happens to Linda.  She had a flat tire on her bicycle when we started off back to the boat.  We hoped the self fixing tire would work and it did after a couple stops to pump it up.
This morning we left the New River in Ft. Lauderdale just ahead of one of those huge yachts being towed out at eight o'clock.  We continued to see mega yachts all day up the Intracoastal Waterway.  This was the first time we have ever traveled it from Ft. Lauderdale to Delray Beach.  When we did the Great Loop, we left Ft. Luaderdale to go to the Bahamas and returned at Lake Worth.  We originally wanted to stop in Delray Beach today, but dock prices are now more than three times what they were four years ago.  I guess we can live without Mellow Mushroom for now. 
We continued for a total of 54 miles in nine hours today with a lot of bridges having to open for us.  We are now anchored at the north end of Lake Worth just like we did four years ago since we never saw another place to anchor today that was more appealing without being over crowded with local weekend boaters.
