Day #26: In the picture above, see that little 100'+ yacht on the far left? Pity its owner. He's rich--but lives in the land of the really, really rich. Here 200' yachts fill marinas. Welcome to Palm Beach! Mega Yacht marinas and mansions line the ICW from here to Miami. If Disney World and Architectual Digest teamed up, this stretch of water would be the result.
Not 500 yards from the heart of Ft. Lauderdale beach is the Las Olas mooring field. Its 10 moorings are highly coveted and can rarely be found vacant. Well, guess what? Yup, here we sit, surround by palm trees, a warm breeze blowing, and wondering how we got so lucky! 44nm today and 1085nm so far. DBH
