2011 - 5/14 - 5/27 - Ft Lauderdale

Bahia Mar many years ago
In the meantime, Mickey met Wayne in Marathon on the 12th with the sole purpose to cruise the boat up to Lauderdale…OK, that probably wasn’t Mick’s sole purpose - he was ready to catch the BIG one.  Unfortunately, even with rigged Ballyhoo, good poles and favorable weather, he got skunked.  They ran into a pretty significant storm while trying to enter Caesar’s Cut that really shook the crap out of them and BLUE MAX.  They arrived at Bahia Mar on Monday, May 16th. Nice digs…pool side bar and across from the beach. Hired professionals to clean and wax the hull.

On the 19th we moved out of the high-rent district over to Cooley’s Landing (Lauderdale City Marina).  We’ve enjoyed staying on the New River  and walking the River-walk since we met in 1999.  Now disappointed that at least 95% of the restaurants and shops are closed down.  The Downtowner and the Briny are still open.  Kathryn drove over from Ft Myers on Friday night.  Pleasant weekend.

I spent the week of Sunday, the 22nd in bed trying to fight a cold…happens every time I fly. Silly me, I thought taking Air Borne would prevent this.
