Crossing the Gulf from Bimini to West Palm Beach

We stayed in Bimini for almost a week before we could get a good weather window for crossing, but when we did finally get a good done. 2-3 ft waves with 5-10 winds for most of the trip anyway. With 2 hours left for the crossing, we hit winds of 15-20 and seas of 4-6 with occasional 8-10ft, rough and more rough.  But we mad it to West Palm and then anchored near the channel which ended up having crazy currents which made all the boats turn in circles facing all different ways.  But we were too tired to care, we did shorten our bridle and that helped a bit but it was just something we had to get used to.  For most of the night our anchor was behind the boat instead of in front of it, oh well, the strong currents can do weird things to the boats as we have seen during other anchorages like Little Farmers.  Upon getting up in the morning we headed out for breakfast and to the Customs Office to get a new Cruising Permit.  It turned out to be a rude awakening to be back in the USA where people not only did not want talk to you, they out right just ignored your questions.  And rude big fishing boats would create big wakes and not care if they throw you up 5ft in the air. We made it all the way across the Gulf just to get beat up by a boater's wake, bummer.
So, anyway we did not find any place for breakfast and decided to get on the road towards our ultimate destination of Stuart, Florida, which is where we plan to get work done and solar added.
As we were leaving town, we decided to stop for gas, but there was a boat tied at the docks.  They took forever to move their boat to a different location.  After about an hour of pacing and waiting for the boat to clear the docks, we were getting ready to head in, when a small Ferry boat decided to cut us off and go to the docks ahead of us.  Needless to say we were pissed by then, how rude can you get.  Finally we docked, without any assistance of course, so I flipped them off and was on our way, thank you very much.  One thing I can say about the Bahamas is that everyone was friendly.  And cruisers helped other cruisers, no doubt about it.  Hopefully our stay in Stuart will be better.
