We have not been able to find wifi here, can’t even buy it. If we want free wifi we have to take the computers across the anchorage to the marina and were not up to that, it’s too far and we’re generally soaked by the time we get there. In order to get any information we have been using the smart phone and the VHF and single side band radios. The phone is really hard on my eyes but the ssb radio has been a great source of information. Anyway, we decided to tether our phone to the laptop so we can get internet. Tethering doesn’t cost any more but you have to watch your data usage so you don’t exceed your allowance. So far the internet via phone is excellent and has enabled us to update the website!
It’s been a while. While in Fort Pierce we met up with our great friends, Michel and Monique on S/V Zen. We left Fort Pierce together and sailed to West Palm Beach/Lake Worth. There was a light fog layer but it did not prevent us from leaving. We had to head north just a bit, under the bridge in Fort Pierce, and hook a right out the inlet and into the ocean.

Sailing south:
The fog lifted and it turned out to be a beautiful day:
When we arrived in Lake Worth Monique made a wonderful mushroom risotto with salad and a French wine, it was fantastic! 
Michel and Dave:
Beautiful Sunrise over Palm Beach:
I have been itching to go for a dive, and the water is so beautiful here, I had to get in the water the first day here. It was so much fun! It was fun just to get back in the water and practice basic skills. We tied up behind Zen and just dove from there, changed a zinc on their boat, and just had fun.

They call us divemaster Dave and flag girl Tanya:
Unfortunately we had to say good bye to our great friends Michel and Monique on S/V Zen. They are continuing onto Miami and Key West while we are heading to the Bahamas. One of the little downers of cruising is making great friends only to have to eventually part ways. I’m sure we will meet again and we wish them safe travels.
We are still here in WPB-Lake Worth waiting on a weather front to blow through and hopefully meet up with Dirk and Nancy on S/V Renegade. http://www.svrenegade.blogspot.com/
