I have been looking at the chart book as well as the Waterway
Guide. We are now into the part of Florida where boating is something people do
all year. The Guide states that it is better to travel south through the Ft.
Lauderdale and Miami areas during the week to avoid the boat traffic that is
much heavier on weekends. There are a lot of bridges in this area as well as no
wake zones. It will be a slow trip south for the next 150 miles. It is overcast
today so the solar panels are not doing much. Little Red is running to charge
our batteries. Shirl is cleaning the inside of Serenity. As with all boats
there is a constant battle with condensation. We are beginning to plan a trip home in January, and we hope to be in Key West for New Years Eve.
We will leave tomorrow or the next day depending on the
weather. I plan to run the engine for an hour this afternoon to make sure the
water pump is fine, and that I did not get air in the fuel lines when I cleaned
the Racor and changed the filter. We have enjoyed our stay here, but it will be
good to get moving south again. The next place we plan to stay a couple of days
is Ft. Lauderdale. ..then it is on to the Keys. To anyone doing this trip...spend some time at Velcro Beach!

Why didn't I write this book? What a great idea! I can not believe I did not think of it.
Wonderful morning view...
