ICW Day 7, Hobe Sound to Lake Worth - the day of slow bridges

We were up before the sun and under pressure to make it to Lake Worth close to high water as we knew there was a shallow patch we needed to clear.  As we left Hobe Sound we admired some of the beautiful houses which lined the shore. 


Pretty much all of the bridges we had to pass through were requested opening which was good but the final 2 were scheduled and we either had to motor flat out to reach them or slow down to wait for the next one, our cruising speed never seemed to meet the average speed which was used for calculating the bridge opening.  This often lead to us being nosy at the surrounding properties and boats but mainly we stressed about if we would go aground at the shallow patch, thankfully we made it over and arrived safe into Lake Worth.

Huge house!

Another huge house just next,door
