| Leaving the State Park |
Like from rural upstate Wisconsin to downtown Chicago in 15
easy miles. Today we traveled the Intracoastal passed the high rise village of
North Miami Beach, past the container ship docks and into Ft. Lauderdale. A bustling
beach community of huge boats, our boat could easily be a dinghy for one of the
boats in this marina. Strong north winds all day blowing right down the
Intracoastal, large ships and fishing cruise boats and all the commercial boats
know exactly what they will do while we try to figure it out.

Cool and windy all day high in the mid 60’s, I wore jeans
with a receipt from January 30th in the pocket, the last time I wore
long pants. How quickly the weather changes once we are on the mainland of
Florida. We had decktails with our neighbor Jonathan, The Boat Whisperer this evening. Jonathan is a delivery captain, professional boat person with much local knowledge of the waterways on the east coast of Florida all the way to Newport. He gave us his card and offered to help in any way he could, a very nice person.
Carol flies tomorrow early and will get a cab from the Marriott
Courtyard across the street. I will anchor out in one of the bays here in Ft.
Lauderdale until Sunday when she returns from her visit in Omaha. Mostly boat
enhancements and a trip to the largest West Marine Store in the country are in
my plans for the weekend. More adventures await tomorrow.
