On April 24 we cruised along the coast to Palm Beach & tied up at the Brazilian Docks, just a few blocks from Worth Avenue. Our main reason to be in PB was to be part of a big 50th birthday celebration weekend for our friend Matt. It was the last hoorah in a 3 month long celebration. Oh well, one’s 50th is a big deal. That night we went to a birthday party for him at the home of some Chicago friends, the next day our friend Jeff took 30 people for a birthday brunch cruise on his 112′ Westport, a beautiful yacht. Late in the afternoon Alan’s neice & her husband boarded to join us for a few days cruising north. That night we had a cocktail party for 20 friends & (hopefully) wrapped up the celebration. The next morning we headed north to continue our journey.
