Hanging out with the big boys

We are spending the night at Riviera Beach city marina just north of Palm Beach. The marina is full of large, expensive yachts.

The big boys in the sunset:

The only slight mis-adventure of the day was when a boat with four 400hp outboards passed us throwing a 5 foot wake. In the insuing rocking and rolling I must have hit the refrigerator switch with my foot. A few hours later we discovered our ice was on the slushy side. Three dollars and a trip to the gas dock and now we have 10 lbs of this vital commodity.

Tomorrow we fight our way through the boating capital of the world.

Update: Tuesday morning - upon weather review the crew saw upcoming winds in south FL of 30 to 40 mph and decided to wait it out in this nice marina opting for comfort in lieu of intrepid seamanship.
