Following almost a month of watching the weather forecast and looking out for hurricanes, Sea Island Girl successfully made it to Ft. Lauderdale and was unloaded from the PAC Adara safely. Al Ressa, our friend from Lake Lanier, assisted in the process by accompanying Robert and getting the boat moved safely into the Hollywood Municipal Marina just south of Port Everglades.A number of projects were planned and completed: bimini and air conditioning. It took a month to line everyone up but things are completed and she looks great!
We have now moved north enjoying a couple of days in Lake Worth, near West Palm and was pleased to know that we could transit most of the 20 bridges without having to stop for a bridge opening. Following a brief stay we moved on to Vero Beach and are enjoying the company of many of our fellow cruisers whom we plan to be with for the annual Thanksgiving get together at the marina.
It has been enjoyable learning the ropes of power boating and managing the waters of the ICW enroute to our current location. We are anticipating a smooth crossing to Abaco before Christmas and will keep you posted and take plenty of pictures.
