Back on the Magical Mystery Tour

This past Tuesday, April 14, Susan and I returned to Northern Light docked at Soverel Marina in Palm Beach Gardens. Jay and Linda plan to re-join us in early May.We spent the day Wednesday repairing, preparing and provisioning for the continuation of our journey. We haven’t covered much ground/water for the last month so we anticipate putting in some long travel days over the next couple of weeks. We don’t have a firm schedule but obviously if we don’t start moving a little faster we’ll never get home by this summer like we had planned.
Thursday we traveled to Fort Pierce, Friday to Melbourne, Saturday Cocoa And Sunday we’re in New Smyrna . Most of the traveling was done on the Indian River Lagoon, a 130 mile long river that runs north and south up Florida's East Coast and provides a great waterway when it’s too rough to travel offshore. That’s been the case this week with 25+ mph winds and offshore seas over 9”. The weather has been great and we have been able to anchor each night along the way. Tonight we are anchored behind a beach island just inside the Ponce de Leon Inlet.
Here are a few pictures from some of the high points of the week before we flew back home.

Posie and Tom , thanks for dinner and the use of your car !

Andy, we loved your visit, wish it could have been longer.

Lastly I wanted to mention my visit with my old high school buddies the Boca Boys. I went to high school in Ft. Lauderdale and graduated with these guys 42 years ago. The last time I saw any of them we were all 18 years old, we’re now 60. What a hoot it was to see them, catch up and talk about old times.
