Venice of the South

Anchor up at 0650 and out into the Atlantic which was pretty rough. Once outside it was not too bad. Sailed outside all day sometimes at 8.5 knots. to here. We bypassed over 20 bridges and do not miss any of them. We arrived for the 1430 and dropped the anchor around 1500. Nanc had trouble picking up the mooring pendant, and lost her headset overboard. I went forward and rigged a snubber and managed to get it on with hand signals. Entertainment for everyone. We are at the Las Olas bridge and will spend tomorrow night here. Ate at a hamburger place close by and Normond ferried everyone to the landing in his dingy after extensive cocktails and snacks in our cockpit.My cousin who lives here is coming by tomorrow night. Saw flying fish, and I saw one fish jump stright out of the water, up eight feet and back in. DK said it was probably a Spanish Mackerel. You cannot belive the wealth concentrated here. More mega yachts than you will ever see anywhere including Monte Carlo. Cold front coming Thur. I have to go outside to Miami due to a low bridge between here and there. Should be a two hour run and then wait for a weather window to cross over. S
