We arose just in time to see Marilyn and Vic pulling up Whisper’s anchor and heading out of Lake Worth but we have opted to stay put for the day. We squandered our leisure time with computer work and play, reading and cleaning up some exterior rust spots.

As Dan was kicking back on the stern deck watching the anticipated storm approach, the wind whipped up from the near calm to a frenzy that sent two of our three blue lounging deck pads off the boat and into the churning waters. We scurried about grabbing flying object, closing windows and securing everything we possibly could. The squall quickly passed on by and Dan was faced with the prospect of finding and retrieving our wandering cushions. He got the binoculars out, spied them floating together along the east wall of the lake then lowered the dingy and took off to rescue them. Holy cow, sopping wet cushions weigh a ton!!!



THE CLOUDS GATHER AND THE SKIES DARKEN

THE PALMS WHIP AND BEND IN THE GUSTING WIND

WHAT AN AWESOME CHURNING SKY

ONE OF OUR CUSHIONS ESCAPING IN THE BOILING WATER

DAN TO THE RESCUE
With the dingy now in the water we decided to do some more intense snooping and got a little closer to Tiger Wood’s motor yacht, Privacy. It is on the market for a mere $25 million so start saving up your pennies!
