Tax Day found us underway at 0800 from anchorage behind the home of our gracious hosts in Miami Beach. We were between Hibiscus and Palm Islands.
I did not count the bridges we went under today, but there were a lot of them. Weather was a bit cloudy to start with and degraded to rather heavy rain in the Hollywood area as we passed though a “Condo Canyon.”
Luckily, by the time we got to Lauderdale and the port there, the weather had cleared, and we enjoyed the scenery as mega-home after mega-home and monster yacht after monster yacht passed close by.
We were able to find a reasonable marina here in Pompano Beach at the Sands Harbor Resort where the charge is a mere $1.50 a foot. Amenities include a pool, laundry, showers, restaurant, etc. Thanks to Wayne McManus who reviewed this place on Active Captain where I picked it up.
