Boca Raton to Ft. Lauderdale

We spent the morning ashore with cousin Joan, Pegg got a run in, Jay got a new phone (he has a way with "go" phones--he keeps breaking them or dropping them in the drink), Dan got laundry done (not really...Joan, Pegg, and Martha did most of it).   Martha did some exercising in Joan's condo's pool and we restocked the boat AGAIN!  We decided that we could get closer to the Port Everglades inlet if we set out early afternoon, so we weighed anchor and started the painful process of rushing or dragging our feet between bridges and made it to a very nice little niche among thousands of canals here in Ft. Lauderdale and will head down to Port Everglades in the am to see if the weather is right for going outside for the day  tomorrow.   We just finished watching the Lauderdale police sneak around our anchorage (no running lights) and then they turned on all the lights and pulled over a small runabout.  They towed them in towards the dock here and then let them head in - turned off all lights again and headed out to look for some other unsuspecting soul! ~~~~(\_~~~~ D&M

Jay and Dan with cousin Joan in front of the pool that separates their conco from the ICW. NICE place!!

Steve and Joan's condo from the water as we left today.

Boca Raton. Lotta great sights. Saw an Iguana climbing out of the ICW up a concrete wall, another in the middle of a big tree, and one sitting on a draw bridge fender that we should have gotten a picture
of!! Strange critters.
