Winds blowing too hard today for the Atlantic so were just motoring down the intracoastal waterway to an anchorage in Biscayne Bay. From leaving the river and into the intercostal waterway we’ll have to go through 14 drawbridges – we’ve gone through seven so far. In the ICW in Ft. Lauderdale we went by about six of the huge cruise ships. Hollywood, FL, had lots of high rise condos along the beach and just about everywhere has been huge mansions on the water – a glimpse of the monied life. The wind feels great and it feels good to be on the water moving south. When we get to our anchorage we’ll get to drop the anchor for the first time on Curlew- can’t wait! (Not. But it is easier than docking.)
A lot of big celebrities have homes down there off Biscayne Bay. We did a trip to South Beach years ago and did one of the Duck boat tours around the bay. Really cool. Enjoy the journey south!
That wind blew a nasty storm through this area, we having flooding today, then it will drop to freezing tonight from current 60 degrees, and by thursday the overnight low will go down to 11 degrees. 11. We hav had it mild up to this point, so, that’s when you know something nasty is coming, ha! I’ve been enjoying the hiatus blog, thanks.
Sounds a bit like a Dickinsonian novel—250 years later!
