Trip to town

Nick (an English sailor from Tivakie) stopped over today and asked if I’d like to bike into town with him. It sounded like fun so we loaded the bikes into the dinghy and headed up the canal to the launch ramp where I could safely leave the dinghy. The canals of Fort Lauderdale are chocked full of huge, expensive yachts with multi-million dollar homes everywhere that you look. Some of the yacht’s were very beautiful  and some were (in my opinion) just ugly, I’ll let you decided.

On shore we took a long bike ride to Home Dept which took us under the New River heading into town (the road runs thru a  tunnel) and on the way back, we went over the New River coming back.

Several stops later, one to Sailorman, (a used and new nautical gear store) we hopped back into the dinghy and headed home with our “loot”. It was lots of fun.
