FT-LAUDERDALE & MIAMI, Florida


Work work work work work ! That was the plan, so here we are at Cooley's marina in Ft.Lauderdale doing boat projects but mostly shopping for parts and provisioning before our departure to the Bahamas. Not to mention loads of laundry & cleaning the boat.


WE STILL FOUND TIME TO HAVE BEERS AT BRINY'S
IRISH PUB NEAR OUR BOAT

My cousin Irene & her husband Jacques live in Pompano Beach part of the time. Tim & I had a wonderful time with them, laughing, eating and drinking.   They were nice enough to lend us their car so we can do all the shopping & provisioning we needed.

Our boat buddies Al & Brenda on s/v Haven arrived a few days after us. We had a delicious American Thanksgiving dinner with them at the Sea Watch restaurant. Our other buddies Krista & Phil on s/v Harmonium will be arriving this week-end.



AL & BRENDA ARE FROM COMOX, BRITISH COLUMBIA. 
There doesn't seem to be a good weather window anytime soon to cross to the Bahamas unfortunately. We will be discussing our plans with our buddies and hope to cross with them sooner than later.

Once we completed all our projects, we went to Belle Island in the Venetian Causeway in South Beach, Miami.  Krista & Phil on s/v Harmonium Cays arrived and of course, we had another reunion dinner.

During our stay in Miami waiting for a weather window to go to the Bahamas we visited several places:
