As we came up the Intercoastal Waterway, ICW, we came through Port Everglades, the location of the cruise ships and the opening to the Atlantic and Gulf Stream where the big ships load and depart. We would see this area again when we depart for the Bahamas.
We had to pause on the waterway and allow this big fellow to dock before port security would allow us to pass on through the Port and up the waterway to the New River and our temporary home in Fort Lauderdale.
We went up the ICW to the New River then up the New River to the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Marina which is on the New River and in the middle of the downtown area. We "parked" in front of this little boat . . . some 100' long. We looked like its dingy.
Bonnie was off to Virginia Beach and Charlie was left to do the laundry, grocery shopping, greet his arriving brother, John, who was joining us for the Bahamas trip . . . and be on TV. Well, at least SONATA is on TV. You can see SONATA's life ring and mast behind the newscaster on the right-hand side of the picture. SONATA was docked on the river next to the courthouse and this was the chosen TV location for that portion of the morning news.
SONATA was provisioned, refueled, water topped off, John aboard; and Bonnie returned. The bridge opened for our 0500 departure for the Bahamas.
