Peanut Island

We all do it.  Just drive around Peanut Island and anchor to the north or south waiting to cross to the Bahamas or to Miami.

Peanut Island is on the north end of Lake Worth in the Palm Beach area.  We spent three days there waiting for the right window to sail to Miami and had that great sail.

With the extra time, we decided to go explore the island.  It is Beautiful.  A state park that has been done very well.  No fees and not even a donation box.  Protected dinghy/boat basin, snorkeling lagoon and wide brick sidewalks.  I assume it must be popular, but there were only two other couples there the day we went.  Worth a stop to walk, swim or picnic.

 Snorkeling/Kayaking Lagoon.  Crystal clear water and easy access platforms for snorkeling and swimming.
 Wide brick sidewalks and hotties to check out.
     All around the island was rich with bait fish jumping away from predators.  When we got back to our dinghy, we had 6 of them hiding inside.

    No matter how strong the breeze when you leave the dock, once you have reached the furthest point from port, the wind will die. NN
