Waiting for weather

We arrived here in Lake Worth on Sunday after an almost uneventful trip. Juan and Mike were happily chatting on the walkie talkies commenting on the nice houses along the way and suddenly we went hard aground, I almost fell of my seat. Luckily we quickly got out. Sweet Tides followed us and did the same. It took them a little longer to get out, luckily a power boat went by, created ripples and Idette ably got it out!
Lake Worth if full of boats waiting for weather to cross. We met the crew of one of them yesterday as we landed our dinghy to go to the Supermarket, a Saga 43 from Annapolis. and they should be crossing at the same time. From what we have been hearing of the weather we should be able to cross on Friday, we will leave at 2 or 3 a.m. so as to arrive in West End early and go on into the banks, maybe to Sale Cay.
Tomorrow we will go to a marina to fuel up, fill up the water tanks, the batteries and get a last whiff of wifi before setting off. We will also rent a car to buy some more provisions. Thursday night we will probably anchor near the entrance to the inlet to be ready to go. Of course all these plans will depend on whether the weather in fact will do what it is supposed to: 5 to 10 knot winds, 2 to 3 foot waves from the S. We'll see. Photos will follow.
