Day #29: What a difference a day makes, especially when the days are Sunday and Monday. Gone are the jet skis and hundreds of runabouts. As today's picture shows, gone too are all the wakes from the watercraft. Bicki's standing on the shoreline of Lake Peck, 26nm north of Palm Beach. We stopped here planning to stay the night--but the areas healthy abundance of no-see-ums convinced us otherwise. We did explore before hightailing it. There was only a 100 yard spit of land that separated the ICW from the Atlantic Ocean. Walking the beach we found many sea turtle tracks in the sand. Seems to be a popular place for egg laying.
Arriving in Stuart, FL, the new destination for tonight, we waved to the boat moored next to us and commented on how nice the area is. "Yea, except for the no-see-ums.", was their response. It appears we can run, but we can't hide. With all the windows closed and the fans on high in Stuart, FL, it was a rainy 37nm today which upped the total to 486nm.
