Friday on the Water

 We enjoyed another Friday on the water boating the ICW. I had reserved a boat out of Jupiter North, which is really close to the house. I had been expecting about 6 people on our cruise and had reserved a pontoon boat because they are really comfortable. Even though only four of us were able to make the trip, we still had a very enjoyable time on the extremely comfortable boat.

We boarded our trusty vessel, named very aptly Let it Slide, about 9:45 with a day of touring the ICW towards West Palm Beach with a lunch stop at Season's 52 before returning to the marina planned. We managed some beach time as well. Yes, our boat for the day had a water slide--too bad there were no kids along to enjoy it. During our time on the water we passed a number of other pontoon boats, but we were the only ones with a waterslide.

I had considered spending time on a local sandbar, but as fate would have it, the tides were wrong. We were boating around high tide for the day.

Of course, I had to take my obligatory image of the Jupiter Lighthouse from the water. It was a beautiful morning and the colors were beautiful. 

We had hoped to see some manatees or other marine life along our journey. Aside from fish jumping periodically and a few seabirds, we did not see other marine life. But, even so, it was a great day on the water. 

Note: ICW is Intracoastal Waterway
