You can't make this up!

For those of you that checked our position you'll have realised we are back in Old Port Cove. We are pleased to report Ann is much better and well rested. It could be worse - we hear it snowed in Charleston! Its going to get chilly here over the next couple of days but no snow in the forecast.

Before we left Miami we decided to do a spot of sailing in Biscayne Bay - what a day, winds of 18 knots SE and fine sunny weather. Seems each time we come here we have a great day of sailing, hate to leave but we are not complete without Ann.

After 20+miles of having fun we point the boat back towards Miami and another familiar anchorage in Marine Stadium 025 44.7906N 080 10.2958W. We were visited by a pair of dolphin here, always a pleasure to watch them. Temperatures today hit a record high of 89°, now that's hot!

Next morning we were up early, so early in fact that we had to wait until it was light enough. At the sound of rowers exercising their skills we figured it was time, actually it was still only 6:45 a.m. So as the sun rose we said goodbye to Miami until the next time.

As we entered Port Everglades at Fort Lauderdale it started to rain and the sky turned kind of dark but we made it to Las Olas Bridge and took a ball before taking a stroll along the beach front. 026 07.1335N 080 06.5769W.

It's always thrilling to look at the larger boats docked here at Fort Lauderdale opposite the big cruise ships at 17th Street Bridge. Check out the toy room below decks on this boat!

It was a long rainy day of motoring up to Old Port Cove and a lot of bridges - boy its tough to get the timing right. We had a half hour wait at a few of them but were here in time for Pizza in the comfort of John R's condo. So what's next? Well you guessed it we're making it up as we go along! Stay tuned.
