Update 11/9/13

We haven't posted a story update in a while.  This is partially because finding a decent wifi signal has been difficult, partially because we've been in the same spot for some time.  We used the time to pick Cyrus up from the airport and play with him for a couple of days, enjoy West Palm Beach and wait out some weather.
We had planned on moving south yesterday, which we did... sort of...
As we were discussing plans over coffee yesterday, Tyler peaked his head out of the companionway and said the words we'd been dreading for the past four days, "Oh my god, we're dragging."
As you can imagine, dragging at anchor is a bit of a hazard for boats and there are many tools to try to assist with anchoring and alert you to dragging your anchor.  We, of course, had just turned off our drag alarm because we were awake (and presumably aware).
I had peaked out the companionway and windows just 10 minutes before and did not notice any movement, so this episode of dragging was very surprising.
After Tyler's announcement, we sprang into action, turning on the engine and moving to a safer spot....and this is where the fun of the day began.  Because of the current and the wind, we could not dock successfully at the South Palm Beach public docks- so we decided to simply start our adventure south.  Simply is the key word here.
Traveling south of Palm Beach on the ICW, "the ditch", requires passing through a draw bridge every 30-60 minutes.   These bridges run on a schedule and very much dictate your pace travelling the 40-ish miles to Ft. Lauderdale. After successfully passing through 3 bridges, we came to the Lantana bridge, which is currently under construction.  I had heard many boats attempt to hail the bridge during the day with limited success- and ultimately it became the end of our travels south.  The construction worker on the other end of the radio informed me that the bridge was scheduled to open in 4 minutes (we were not going to be there in 4 minutes) and that he did not know when it would be open again and they are not on a schedule.  After beginning the day with a dragging anchor, unsuccessful docking and a harrowing incident with a yacht wake (which interfered with my coffee drinking....don't mess with my coffee), we decided to turn around and head north.
We ended up a few miles north of West Palm Beach, ironically, at the North Palm Beach marina.  The plus side of the marina was showers, laundry and a good night's sleep without worry of dragging.
We plan to stay here for a few days and wait out some weather, continue boat repairs/improvements and order some essentials.
