Made it to Ft Lauderdale


These photos don't  really do justice in giving you and idea of how many people are there



Things have been running much better since we had the work done in Port Solerno and I found the crud in the fuel line.  

We've been working our way south on the Intracoastal Waterway, mainly because there are few good inlets between Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale except for Fort Pierce and Lake Worth.  When we got to those inlets, the wind was coming from the south.  Go figure!  One of the stops that we made was at Boca Raton Lake.  It was a wonderful anchorage until we hit the week-end.  I thought we had gone to never never land.  I really don't think I've seen so many boats in one place except at a boat show.  Then in addition to the regular crowd, the Hillsboro Yacht Club was having a change of commodores and the whole club was there with all their boats rafted together.  Thank goodness we had anchored before everyone started to arrive.

We arrived today in Ft Lauderdale and are staying at the Las Olas Municipal Marina for a few nights.  We're convinced that some schools must be on spring break since there were so many young people at the beach and it's only a Monday.  We hope to kick back for a few days and then head for Miami, Biscayne Bay and then the keys.
