Some day? Nope.
Anyway, we're still stuck here in North Palm Beach. I know, there are much worse places to be stuck. The forecasts for the GS continue to paint a rough ride for us. Today we had a car again and drove out to the Riviera City Beach. They have it all torn up with new construction but the sand and the water are still intact. Besides we wanted to see what the forecast compared against. It was still a bit on the rough side coming into shore. Not bad for several miles but in the distance we could easily pick out some rollers that looked somewhat intimidating to a hard chined motor yacht that rolls easily.
We've lost a certain amount of faith in NOAA's ability to predict wave heights. Given that we may stick our nose out the inlet on Tuesday morning and if things are ok along with the forecast, we'll press on. Otherwise we'll probably just head to Ft. Lauderdale and pull in until the forecasts settle down and become more consistent.
On the plus side of life, tonite we went out to eat for the first time since Georgia. We found a Sushi place named Yu Mi Sushi on Military Avenue in West Palm Beach Fl.. If you ever need to have some Sushi or rolls this is the place to go. They have good fish in all of their rolls instead of the punky chewed up squirt bottle stuff they are serving in upstate NY these days. So we had five rolls two saki's and it came to 64 bucks.
So anyway, the forecast for Tuesday is marginal.
MONDAY
NORTH WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS. SEAS 3 TO 5 FEET. NORTHEAST SWELL 2 TO 3 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS A LIGHT CHOP. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. MONDAY NIGHT NORTH WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS NEAR SHORE TO NORTHEAST 10 TO 15 KNOTS IN THE GULF STREAM. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET NEAR SHORE AND UP TO 4 TO 6 FEET IN THE GULF STREAM. NORTHEAST SWELL 2 TO 3 FEET BECOMING 2 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS A LIGHT CHOP. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. TUESDAY NORTHEAST WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS NEAR SHORE TO NORTHEAST 10 TO 15 KNOTS IN THE GULF STREAM. NEAR SHORE...SEAS 2 TO 3 FEET. IN THE GULF STREAM...SEAS 3 TO 5 FEET SUBSIDING TO 2 TO 3 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS A MODERATE CHOP. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. TUESDAY NIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS A LIGHT CHOP. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
And we know full well that it will change in the morning since we have dueling forecasters. Tomorrow around 11:00 or so another forecaster will take over the reigns and the wave heights will go up.
