FL to CT Day 10
Lantana, FL to Fort Pierce, FL
Up early at 0630 to prepare to leave by 0730... we were just below the Lantana Bridge which we needed an opening... bridge opening on hour and half hour so first opening during daylight was 0730. We pulled the anchor allowing just enough time to be in position at the bridge for it's o730 opening. Plans for today were to go to Fort Pierce and anchor.

I had thought we were done dealing with bridges, but we had several more along our path today... most we could pass under with the mast and VHF antennas down, so I put them down after Lantana bridge and left them down until we went under the last bridge... Hobe Sound Bridge... from this point we had only high rise bridges... YAY! At least for today...

We arrived at our destination for the night at Fort Pierce. FL at approximately 1545 and were secure at anchor for the night at 1600. Our position for the night is N27°28.027', W080°19.008'. We traveled today for 8.5 hours covering 57.8 nautical miles averaging 6.8 knots.

After we were settled and sure anchor was set we dropped the dinghy in the water and took the dogs to the beach on the small island we were anchored next to... spent an hour or so playing on the beach... Lily and Herman loved it.
