Ft. Lauderdale

We left Boca Chita at 7:20 this morning.  A fast boat had already come in, presumably to get a spot for the weekend.  We hear it gets crazy here.  Even the park ranger confirmed it.
We were underway for a couple of hours still in Biscayne Bay.  Doug made us breakfast.  "Septembre" called us on the radio to ask our location.  They went on to Hurricane Harbor last night.  They had planned on No Name Harbor right next to it, but we assume it was full just as our friends on "Byrd Ketcher" had said two nights earlier.  "Septembre" got in behind us to travel through Miami.  We only needed two bridges open.  We just missed the opening on the first one and had to wait almost 30 minutes for its next opening.
It was another uneventful but pretty day.  Lots of stuff to see in civilization compared to where we've been for the past few days.  We pulled into slip 56 at the city marina on the New River at about 3:00 p.m.  For dinner we ended up at Pizza Craft which was a phenomenal meal.
We will stay here until Tuesday morning as plans are right now.  Doug flies out on Sunday.  My parents plan to come and take over his accommodations after they take him to the airport.
