Thursday, March 12 In the morning we took a short ride across the Biscayne Bay to Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove. Later that evening we celebrated my 60th birthday at a great dockside seafood restaurant overlooking Biscayne Bay. We spent the next two days enjoying this trendy little town on the outskirts of Miami.
Saturday, March 14 Today we motored over to the chic Miami Beach Marina located just two blocks from “SOBE” Miami’s South Beach district. Spent the afternoon sunning and taking in the sights on the beach.
Sunday, March 15 We departed Miami through the Government Cut and sailed south toward Ft. Lauderdale. Our high spirited 30 mile sail in the Atlantic ended mid afternoon as we re-entered the Intracoastal waterway at Port 
Everglades. We spent the night anchored in Lake Sylvia, a small lake just off the waterway in Ft. Lauderdale. That evening we had a clear view of the space shuttle launch from 200 mile away Cape Canaveral.

The marina is located in the heart of Ft. Lauderdale’s historic/restaurant/theatre district. Ft. .JPG)
Lauderdale isn’t a very old city so there is not a lot of history here, but what there is started at the site that is now occupied by the Marina. In 1836 the Seminole Indians attacked and killed the Cooley Family at this location. This marked the beginning of the Seminole War in South Florida and led to the founding of the military post, Fort .JPG)

I've missed you guys - good to hear from you again. Is that key lime pie you're eating in that picture, Brad? That's my FAVORITE! Have you biked down to San Marco Drive yet?
Happy Birthday Brad! Nice way to celebrate your 60th...I hear that Andy is on his way to Florida, we hope the job with the City and County of Denver pans out for him. Hello to Susan, Andy and crew. We just said good bye to Chuck and some other family members after a great long weekend of skiing in Colorado. Take care.
ooops. that was me, Martha, that left the last comment.
