Day 2

Rodriquez Key to Palm Beach
N 26 46.415, W -80 02.400
111 miles, under way 17 hours



There's not a lot of places to land along the Florida east coast.  We decided to go an extra few hours and stop at Lake Worth, a nice big inlet used by barges and cruise ships.  It has a fierce current, too.  Not much fun anchoring in the dark- the running lights weren't working and the fish finder has temper fits.  And Tony cat is seasick- we're going to anchor here till he feels better.  Whew- the kind of night that makes you happy to see daytime.

  2. Poor Tony! I've googled cats and seasickness and found this on forum for people who sail:

    Tums! If you stop over on land, you might take him to a vet and see what the vet says about it.

    Looks like you left the Gulf just in time. It makes me heartsick and angry just to read about it.
