Loggerhead Marina at Lantana - Last day

$1,500,000 condos anyone?
The docks are associated with the condos here and in looking at the brochure, they go from $800,000 for the cheapies to $1,500,000 for the really good ones. When the project was announced, they had sold 80% of the condos before the ground was broken! According to the newspaper, most of the buyers were locals. Well, for their money they get to look at us as a view!

This is what you wear when it's 65 out down here
The wind continued to blow with a steady passage of gusts in the 30 kt range, we were heeling over with the winds. However, there was a full sun so the cockpit was warm with the full enclosure. We continue to closely watch the weather and Sunday appears to be favorable for continuing south to Ft Lauderdale. That would hopefully put us two days out of Marathon which is then only one day out of Key West. It sure would be nice to reach warm weather for a change.

Meanwhile my outboard is back on the boat, almost good as new. On Sunday we'll get up early since I have a lot of lines to undo before leaving and 15 bridges that we need to be raised to get under on the way to Ft Lauderdale. Hopefully we can get a mooring but the probability is not high on that with all the bad weather for Bahama crossings.
