Boca Mocha

We left Palm Beach in the morning and continued South down the ICW. I had plotted a short leg and that turned out to be a good thing as we were getting a late start and would encounter many ‘restricted’ bascule bridges that only open at set times after the hour.

 

We past several bars that looked like fun places to tie up for a bit.

 

There was lots of traffic on the ICW and we watched many boats pass us.

 

We also saw many boats just tied up in front of amazing homes.

 

And I could have snapped 100 pictures of just amazing homes and beautiful architecture.

Then there was this.. Hey Mom & Dad can I have a water slide setup in the back yard for my 8th birthday?

Umm.. I think you slide is taller than your home.

The flag below @ half mast reminded Kelly & I that we are only 12 miles or so from the school shooting in Parkland, FL. When will this new form of violence cease? I believe that all human consciousness needs to communicate. We all need to look after each other to remain healthy. Example: when a child is bullied/alienated in school (or a coworker @work) that is the time that people need to reach out with kindness and listen. We are all connected via social media and it will either save us or tear us apart, be kind.

As we sit in the aft cockpit and take in the day the sun is setting between two high-rise buildings.

and we watched as the sun climbed high on the tall buildings before disappearing.
