Heading to the Fort Lauderdale Airport and Beyond!

We had to return the Camaro near the airport.  (I still miss that car!) 

To get to the airport from the Enterprise Return Center we took a bus.  The bus was painted on the outside.  Here you can see the back of legs from people painted.


We took Spirit Airlines which had the most inexpensive airfare.  Hence, they had the smallest seats.  Here's the size of the pull-down tray.  So cute - so tiny!

Marathon, Florida

We made it to our first major destination - Marathon! We have now been here since Jan. 29th, give or take.  I am on vacation and lose track of time very easily!   We started out anchoring in Boot Key Harbor.  We put our name in for a mooring ball.  We were #24 on the waiting list.  People around here told  us it would take about 2 weeks to get one.  At that time we figured we would be leaving before then!   For those unfamiliar with a mooring ball, it is a ball with a rope and a ring on one end and the other end is attached securely to the bottom of the water.  You don't need the anchor to hold the boat you grab the ring with a boat hook and thread some line through the ring and tie the ends onto a cleat on the boat.  It holds the boat well and you don't need to worry so much about your anchor shifting or coming loose.  The anchoring in this harbor was so crowded that it made us concerned about how close we were from the boat i...

Last, but not Least of the Everglades City, Part 3

Image
This is the last segment for the Everglades.  This is the most important one to me because it is here that we met a super group of people that were a lot of fun and a very caring group!  Some were other boaters, sail and trawler, and some were there in their motor coaches in the RV section of the park.  Some of them had their pets with them.  Sorry - I forgot the names of some the animals! These two belong to Jerry and Larisa. This is Lorrie's dog, Penny: These are Carol's pets:                                        Lily We went to the Camillia restaurant with the group. Lorrie on the left.  Trish on the right Jerry                                   ...

Anchoring in Georgia and the Walburg Creek Episode

Image
I am going to try a different way of blogging.  I may skip some days and not play catch up but continue from where I am.  I will fill in what I've skipped if I decide I want to include something special or of interest. I will see how it goes.  Inky Rose also needs to come exploring more.  She is so quiet that I forget to take her with me!  We have been traveling down the ICW (the ditch) steadily.  Navigating the ditch is tricky when you have to look at charts and mark down the tides, the depth, and all the times involved in a safe passage. There a few areas, especially in Georgia, where Dolce Vita has a terrible time finding a suitable anchoring spot.  Ed doesn't like to be at any depth lower than 6 or 7 ft. at low tide or deeper than 15 feet at high tide.  Since we don't have a windlass to pull up the anchor and chain, Ed has to do it himself and 15' is the limit of his ability to pull the heavy anchor and chain up.  Georgia has deep...
