The Canyon

From Boca Raton, through Vero-Jupiter & Palm Beach to Miami is a stretch of waterway known as the canyon.
Narrow and tall concrete walls (condos) on both sides. Apparently this is why many sailors go "outside" (into the Atlantic) to avoid all this crap.
In 2 days we've gone through 34 bridges from Boca Raton to Miami.
This area is full of rich snobs for the most part (can you tell I'm tired, LOL).
We've seen mansions that could have easily been owned by Trump or Oprah & huge yachts owned by rich and famous..
Me, I felt like Jed Clampit dragging my old ugly floating station wagon through the fanciest of areas.. Just the right incentive to bring her back to her old glory prior to the trip back :)
On a happier note, today Scott pointed out a Manatee while we were doing circles waiting for a bridge to open (some only open every 30 mmin's on the hour & some only on the quarter after & quarter of). After the bridge opened I saw a young Manatee (about 3-4') swimming towards the other!!! Too Cool!!
PS- Mom, that tray of brownies was GREAT!
We are now at Mile 1088
If weather holds (it has been beautiful!) we should end this journey in 3 days.
I have a lot of photos to post a link to- once we get there.
Oh & yahoooooooo, the SOX swept the yanks!!
