OOPS!!!!

I guess I have you wondering what the last picture on the previous blog was all about. OK, I'll let you in on it. It was taken as we passed though Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. It is a transport ship for yachts of all sizes across the Atlantic Ocean. My way to get across. I've shared with Larry many times when we are ready to cross I want to put us and our boat aboard one of those ships and cross. It would be much faster and easier than us taking about five weeks on our own. We would not lose any sleep either. Wow!

This morning we were both up early as usual, so we left in time for the 7:30 AM bridge opening. We were doing well getting to all the bridges on time until the afternoon, when they were getting further apart. We have transited though about thirty bridges the past two days. The only thing I can say for them is that they are easier than canals.

We were glad to call it a day around 5 PM when we dropped our hook in Hobe Sound for the night. The palatial pallace in the picture is part of our scenery on this portion of the ICW. It is much quieter and prettier than last night with it's high rise condominiums on all sides of the ICW. The water today was also much cleaner than yesterday. After the high winds and thunderstorms in Miami and Fort Lauderdale there was all kinds of debris floating in the water. It seemed trapped with the concrete walls on both sides.

Tomorrow we plan not to leave as early as today and not travel as far, we only have one bridge.
