Haulover Beach
We spent Thursday night in Lake Sylvia at anchor and left around 9:30 on Friday. We had not before traveled this section of the ICW. As you can see from the picture it has a little more local color then the section above Fort Lauderdale. The picture is of a bar on the water front, a real bar.
Docking at Haulover Beach Marina was interesting given the wind was clocking as much as 25 knots. This marina had been wiped out by the hurricanes. There are no finger piers left just poles and a concrete wall. I'll take anchoring any day of the week. We did it, we backed into the slip so we could get off the boat in the stern instead of the bow.
Larry started his captains course last night and I hung out on the boat. This morning he left early and I did some cleaning then Diane and I took the bikes for a ride to the Health Market where we had an absolutely delicious lunch. We had planned to golf this morning and spend the afternoon at the beach but the temperature had dropped down into the 50's this morning and the wind is still howling. We are planning on golf tomorrow morning and the beach in the afternoon. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. If not there is always Monday.

Hi
Our snow up here has nearly all gone. Seaway is open and we are thinking about getting launched. So Larry will be well educated by the time you get back to the Lake. Looks like the Gulf Stream will have to wait a little longer. Gail, what will you be doing for the 4 wks Larry is in a learning mode? It will be interesting to keep up with your exploits. Wishing you fair winds and good holding for the remainder of your trip, trip is so insignificant its an adventure at the very least.
Monica & Tony
