Left Jensen early to try to arrive at Jupiter inlet as close to mid tide as we could as shoaling there has been a problem recently. We were following a sailboat going much slower than we wanted to but due to the narrow channel by the time we found a place we were comfortable overtaking them we had lost too much time. We arrived at Jupiter inlet one hour before low tide. Stuck to Bob’s tracks and proceeded slowly right onto a shoal. The boat behind us tried to pass on our port side and also ran aground. Both of us were able to manoeuvre off without assistance within about 5 mins. The bridge operator said stay far away from the red marker. 
The rest of the trip we were focused on timing the bridge openings which we managed quite well. I think we passed through seven bridges that had to open. 
Docked at Lake Park Marina, helpful friendly staff. We’re in a slip right beside all the facilities. Not the nicest area for walking around, a lot of construction right around the marina. Took an Uber to a cruisers meet up last night at O’Sheas Irish pub, in West Palm Beach just south of us, organized by the Boat Galley. Met lots of nice people. Had dinner at Hullabaloo, fun small restaurant with great food and service.
