Marc- We spent the last two days on a road trip to visit friends in Ft. Myers and Bonita Springs. Beautiful homes and fun times with old friends: Donna, Frank and Roberta. Doreen came down via plane to augment Michael's crew aboard Fiddler's Green. We enjoyed dinner last night at the Downtowner Restaurant on the New River in Ft. Lauderdale. Fiddler's Green was tied up only 50 feet away. We were 4 miles away at the Coral Ridge Yacht Club.
At 08:30 we joined forces once again and headed North in the ICW. The homes were unbelievable. One home had a water slide from the third floor to a glass pool on the second floor. It was truly a feast for the eyes. The bridges were fine for the first third of the trip and then we hit several bridges not in sync that delayed us 30 minutes at each bridge. The bridges are mostly on set opening schedules: e.g., 15 minutes and 45 minutes after the hour. A few bridges only open on the hour and a few bridges open on demand. The bridge attendants were all courteous and helpful.
Fiddler's Green arrived at least an hour before us at the Municipal marina and checked in. Michael was there to take our lines and help us dock when we tied up after closing hours. To celebrate we all went to the marina's Rafiki Tiki restaurant for excellent food.
