2-27-2015 Moved on to Palm Beach

We passed West Palm Beach first with all marinas full and found a nice marina in Palm Beach area.
Very friendly and Fran really liked it because when we checked in they gave her a bottle of wine as a welcome present. It has nice wide docks, visitors center, captains lounge, good internet for a change and about half the price of most marinas we have found. We figure we will stay here for a few days and relax before moving on again. We still don't know which way we will go as the wind keeps blowing and the crossing to the Bahamas we had planned would have only been possible 1 or 2 of the days in the past 3 weeks but we were not ready on those days. With all the North winds the Gulf Stream has been at 5 - 12 foot waves. Right now there doesn't seem to be any days coming for a while so we may continue along the coast. All our plans are up in the air and changing our thought process, as Ray is having a good time but it seems like even more work taking care of him on the boat with just the 2 of us. Showering and toileting out on the back deck makes us the center attraction at the high end marinas, but everyone seems to make the best of it! Most people can't believe that we can do all we do on a boat and love to see him using the elevator getting on and off the boat to take buddy out for a walk. I think even Buddy is starting to get used to the boat all except the rough water then he starts shaking again, but everytime he gets a little better!

  1. Well caught up tonight on the travels of "Little" Ray. Wow. Talk about adventures and memories The waves. Hmm not so good. I remember a few adventures on Lake Ontario that were "memorable". But sounds like they were pretty minor compared to some you experience. As for Ray's care, there are no words on this earth to explain how much we all are grateful and in such admiration for all you give this young man we love so very much. So glad your phone service seems to be just fine in spite of the sporadic internet service. Keep up the great trip and postings. Hugs to "Little Ray" from Aunt Barb. Of course, hugs to Buddy from Uncle Ken. Love to the whole crew.
