Day 28: Changed Perspective

West Palm Beach (docked)

February 11, 2022

Last night we learned that there was enough depth at the free dock for Lailia and, that with an adapter, we could fill our water tank from the standing fire pump.

This morning John took the dinghy from where we were anchored to the dock to see how the current would effect the boat. The boating community is collaborative and kind: another boater loaned us his hose adapter. We moved Lailia to the dock and now have a full tank of water.

Being docked here opened up some great opportunities. We were able to walk to a bagel shop for breakfast – our first breakfast off the boat in a month.

I was able to grab a quick walk during a break in my remote visit, too. Just getting off Lailia and being able to stroll around and bird (and people) watch seems like a gift. John had conversations with other boaters – no doubt it was a gift to him to talk to some other than me!

West Palm Beach is filled with public art. There are so many murals and sculptures.
