We rolled into Ft Lauderdale Monday evening Feb. 15th after a long day of passing under 21 drawbridges which all open at different times during the hour. It is impossible to hit them all at the right time... so it makes for a ver-r-r-r-r-y long day.
Of course there is never a dull moment. When we were motoring into the BahiaMar Marina our engine started making some very strange rattling and banging noises. Not good! We got tied up fine and called a mechanic to take a look. Nothing is simple with boats..........
We have been at the BahiaMar for almost two weeks waiting for parts and the repair work to be completed.
There are plenty of huge yachts around here. Some that we saw have over 10,000 square feet of living space.

The weather has been off and on and the good news is that we would not have been able to make the crossing to the Bahamas during this last two weeks anyway because of the north winds blowing the Gulf Stream into massive seas. So we have been enjoying Ft. Lauderdale and the surrounding area.
Happy hour is always good...
As soon as the engine is fixed we will head south to Key Biscayne and wait there for the crossing to Bimini.
