After two nights of waking up trying to figure out the best way to get out of our tight slip and narrow fairway in the wind, I finally arrived at "the perfect plan." We awoke at 6:00 a.m. to lighter winds and made the special preparations to depart. Just then, we got high wind gusts and almost aborted before a miracle of light winds appeared again and we made the break. The plan worked extremely well, and I was quite relieved. Another challenge met and slayed.
Moving up through Miami is quite an experience. There are mega high-rise condo buildings, yachts, container ports, cruise ship docks and homes. Everything is on a grand scale beyond belief. With the Miami Boat Show next week, there was a parade of shiny new boats coming down from the east coast. We took a hundred pictures of all of this, far more than any other day on the trip. Then we turned up New River into the heart of Fort Lauderdale.
