Fort Worth

(Posted by Clare)
We have made the last hop south in the US, and are now anchored with quite a lot of other boats in Lake Worth, Palm Beach. It's a nice spot, some very large and beautiful mansions along one side. Easy to walk to supermarket and lots of other shops from the dinghy landing. We left Jacksonville on Friday and stopped in Fort Pierce as we weren't going fast enough to make the whole journey before dark. Caught a huge kingfish en route, probably about 20 kgs. It's delicious, back to the fish diet! Set off again on Saturday, but after several hours motoring against the wind returned to Fort Pierce! Yesterday we sailed all the way here - some gusts of 40 knots so we made good speed even well reefed.
