Nice!!! Thanks for the link. Do you know where the webcam located?

Because your link is to a live webcam, others reading this thread at a later time or date won't see the circle raft you're referring to. So I just captured a screenshot of the current image and am pasting it below for all to see.

BTW, do you take your C36 through the Boca Raton entrance??? I have been there a few times staying at the Boca Raton Resort (OK, it was an expense account business trip...how else?), and that entrance didn't look very suitable as I recall.

Boca Inlet is a fair weather inlet, and in the past couple of years it has had some shoaling issues. We normally use Hillsboro inlet which is about 5 miles south. The web cam is located on the top of a condo building thats on the north east corner of the lake

Thanks, Larry, for preserving the 'moment.'

Carl, we came back from West End, Bahamas, a few years ago and bucked the gulf stream a bit more than we should have to making some southing. We were originally trying for Boca Raton Inlet, but I radioed to TowBoatUS for local knowledge and they suggested Hillsboro instead.

It was nice little anchorage just seaward of the bridge, but rather crowded at the time. Luckily, some young guys invited us to raft off them after our 14 hour passage.
