Weighed anchor and was underway at 0730. Weather forcast was good, so we headed out to sea through Ft. Pierce Inlet and turned south. Sailing conditions were excellent, with 2 to 3 foot seas and northwest winds at 10 to 15 knots. I raised all of the sails (main, jib, and staysail) and stayed on the same tack until arriving at Lake Worth Inlet (roughly 7 hours). Once through the inlet, we headed north along the ICW and anchored just south of Parker Bridge in Palm Beach (ICW STM 1014).
This is a pretty big anchorage - there's roughly 25 other boats here, but still plenty of room. The weather calls for cold, windy conditions over the next few days (lows in the 30's tomorrow night) as a couple of cold fronts pass through. As the anchorage is well protected, we'll probably stay here until Sunday or so to let the weather calm down and so Val and Lisa can visit with some friends. I'll just chill on the boat and catch up on some work.
