Last Day in Ft Lauderdale

Today was a beautiful sunny day, a little cool, but wonderful. We got great charging out of our wind generator and solar panels. During the morning we went ashore to the marina lounge. Peter checked emails and copied some movies from our friend, Bob. Jane took a walk with Pretzel and Connie to Ft Lauderdale Beach. It is a long, sandy beach which is just like you would see in pictures. Because today is Sunday there were loads of people and cars but not too many on the beach. We had north winds all last night and today so the ocean horizon showed lots of wave disturbance. No one is crossing to the Bahamas in the next few days!

Big Boat!

Really Big Boat!

Huge Boat!!

In the afternoon we dingied through lake Sylvia, under a 4 foot bridge, through a canal,. across the Intracoastel waterway, and on another canal. We docked at Southport Raw Bar and stopped for lunch. We crossed the street outside the bar and did a little shopping at a Winn Dixie then headed back to the boat. We are getting ready to leave here tomorrow and sail outside to the Miami area. We will probably end up there for the week due to another cold front coming in Wednesday through Friday. Ft Lauderdale is a wonderful place to visit so we will definitely stay again on the way back from the Keys.
