Lake Worth

Today we got a taste of what it's like to wait for restricted drawbridges.  Two drawbridge operators told us they couldn't open because they had work crews on them.  These were supposed to be bridges that "open on demand" as opposed to the restricted bridges that generally open on the hour and half hour.  We made it to one restricted bridge just as it closed for the next half hour.  But wait -- a Towboat US operator with a disabled sailboat in tow came to the bridge 10 minutes early and was given an opening that we grabbed too.  We stayed right on his tail for the next 2 bridges and were granted passage despite the fact that they were restricted.  We are in Lake Worth at present surrounded by about 30 other boats.  This is a jumping off point for the Bahamas but we'll wait awhile before we make our jump.
