The top of an incoming tide was the ideal time to see the clear water of Lake Worth Inlet, from both above and below.
After launching the kayaks under the Blue Heron Bridge (where there were about 100 snorkelers and divers on the man-made snorkeling trail off the beach), it was bliss to arrive at Peanut Island where there were very few people. Dave had a phenomenal snorkeling adventure, while I explored the island by land. After our picnic lunch we headed over to the western shore to see the megayachts.
Unfortunately, the south wind had picked up and was opposing the now outgoing tide, so the kayaking conditions became challenging and we were unable to paddle through the Port of Palm Beach. Instead we crossed the main channel back to the island and went in the back waters behind the small marina and docking area.
The bridges got lower so it was limbo time!
Then there were the iguanas, always guarding the entrance. I saw quite a few of them in the morning, because there were so few humans around when we first arrived.
As the day went on, more boaters did show up, including this floating motorized tiki hut.
We flew back downwind back to the launch area, and despite the rough water, we still called this another 10 day!
