Peck Lake

We get up early to catch the opening of the first bridge north just off Lake Worth which opens on the ¼ and ¾ hour. 

Shortly after that we catch the next bridge on the hour, 15 minutes later. These bridges are well timed for sailboat and trawler cruising speeds. Our goal is to get to Peck Lake before the forecast afternoon thunderstorms.

Shortly after we anchor at 11:45 am it starts raining and continues for the rest of the day and into the evening. We avoid any close thunderstorms, the worst of the weather passes to the south. We wind up binge watching a series on Amazon for the afternoon. I had hoped to dinghy ashore and walk across to the ocean. We can hear the surf and waves breaking all afternoon.
