Lee and Peter Sailing Trip was for Four not Two Years. Now an Italian adventure

We anchored at a State Park on Jupiter Island. It is nice to be in nature for a change. This part of the Island can be reached by boat only. The Mangrove Swamp is beautiful and there are a lot of examples of various trees.

A boardwalk takes you over water, through the mangrove swamp and dry land to a deserted Beach on the Atlantic. A truly deserted and untouched beach! There are only footprints of Peter, I and wild animals.

The Park Ranger comes every morning to Jupiter Island and makes a round by Golf Cart and another round before he leaves. He has been working years on this Island and is three or four years before retirement. He is working alone in this Island and it is almost like a heaven.

The flowers and coconuts are everywhere. It truly is a piece of heaven!

The water is clear green getting close to the Jupiter Inlet to the ocean. And there are so many boats, it is like a madness. There are large power boats going limitless speed creating huge waves, small boats fishing, slow sail boats like us and people in kyaks and on padel boards. All wizing around in a small area! We were warned about this by one of the people we spent New Years Eve with.  Florida is a heaven for the boats.

Do you see this Tiki bar and a Bikini women? It is really Florida!

We have sort of decided to go to the Bahamas soon without seeing the rest of Florida. We will see The Keys and Everglades later. I (Lee) have been in the Bahamas six or seven times by flying and they are well worth a visit. There are three other boats who are going to the Bahamas soon and asked us to join them. There is a Barefoot Man music festival out in the Abaco in March.

Our Neighbor in Vero Beach have been waiting one month for good weather to the Bahamas. So we decided to go south further while waiting for the good wind.

We would like to meet Litho and Harry near Palm Beach sometime in January. They are very good friends and they live in the same floor of our apartment building in New York City.

We are thinking of arranging a Raft Up for four boats in Hollywood FL. We will just keeping going down south and see what happens.

Layla and Odissey are still up in the north of Florida. Layla had an Engine problem that they thought they fixed completely but had another problem this morning. They are in St. Augustine.

Hope the best for them!
