Some Yachts do make you a little envious

Fort Lauderdale Beach Saturday Dec 6

Today is a beautiful Florida day. About 80 and 6 knots of wind.

Merry Christmas

It is a little hard to think of Christmas down here, but on Kelly's insistence we are trying.

Finally in

The large 17th century boat was not very maneuverable and took 3 hours and 2 Boatow US boats to get it in place. At this time the man is up the mast installing our new anchor light the new antena is up already.

December 4 waiting for the anchor light fixer

Today we are back to overcast sky's and possible rain. The men from Nance and Underwood. When I first phoned them to say don't come if you do not have the broken part. They said they were having trouble finding it. I said the I had emailed Holland and got a name of a company who could get it. Nance said OK I will cancel my order you go ahead. Feeling I had hurt his feelings I asi no you go ahead if you can get it get it. 

Yesterday he emailed and said he could not get the part. I made the decission to just put an anchor light up top, bring the broken parts down and we will use the lower nav lights. They said they would be here today, it is 9:30 and no sign.

As we were waiting down below an older super yacht came in and had some trouble turning around. This gave me a chance to get some pictures.

Day 101

Yesterday was day 100. I did not post anything because we just hide down below all day. I did take a walk in the morning once again looking for a nonexistent church, which was suppose to be half a mile away. On the way back I got wet then it rain and blew all day.

To day we are going to rent a car and do some shopping. I hope to find something interesting to show you later. For now let me show you what woke me up with it's bow thruster.

Day 98 Fort Lauderdale Los Olas Marina

We have traveled for 98 days, hit three bridges, made several repairs and motored 1872 knotical miles. We are in the process of arranging for the anchor light repairs. 

Yesterday we went under one fixed bridge and throught 19 opening bridges. We left North Lake Worth at 7:45 and arrived at Los Olas at 4:30. The bridges are set pretty well in sequence so we did not wait long. Sometimes we did go a little faster then we would like and sometimes we did slow right down.

In our December home we are surrounded by larger boats. I will include pictures tahen from IM's deck.
