Lettuce Lake to Hobe Sound, Florida

 The boat wakes from the fishing boats woke us up at daybreak so we pulled anchor and headed for the first of many drawbridges. We had to wait for the first two to open on schedule but many of the others we were low enough to pass under. We got surprised with some thundershowers in West Palm Beach and put on our rain ponchos to continue on. We were thinking about stopping there but the band stage was set up for Sunfest along with tents and temporary docks and the music was blaring and we knew it would get crazy so we continued on. We are anchored by ourselves at one of the several anchorages along Hobe Sound and so peaceful to get out of the concrete canyon of rebounding boat wakes 

We slowed down for three manatees that swam by the stern of the boat

Controlling speed even on the waterway

Southern Boulevard bridge we had to pass under the one under construction and the temporary one

In Palm Beach everything is large

Sailboat masts as tall as the high rise building
