Sunday, October 31, 2010 Our Happy Halloween Travels from Deerfield Beach, FL to Marathon, FL by way of the ICW.

Rick is getting ice after fueling at the Cove Marina in Deerfield Beach, FL
Ready to get underway at 8:00 am.

Cove Marina and Restaurant, Deerfield Beach, FL.
Located on the ICW just south of the Hillsboro Ave. (810) Bridge.

How about that for a Sailboat!! Pretty Awesome!

A closer look at this beautiful Mega Sailboat.
Trip around the World anyone??

More Mega yachts...just a typical day on the ICW in South East Florida :)

We are now in Ft. Lauderdale....this is the beginning of the Marina's full of Mega Yachts For Sale.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL
2010 Boat Show

Boat Show....

Ft. Lauderdale Home on the ICW.
Nice to see how the other half lives!!
Wouldn't want their electric bill!!  haha

Looks like the Cruise ship is coming right for us.

This Mega yacht is for sale .....look at the boat along side of it......

.....it has it's own compartment that it goes into...along with another
boat that size or larger and about 3 wave runners. Awesome!

Cruise ship in Ft. Lauderdale

Ft. Lauderdale Ship Channel

Moving along...past the Ft. Lauderdale shipping channel.

South of Ft. Lauderdale....this must be the local hang out.
But...be careful to stay in the channel....really shallow on either side.

This boat on the left is being towed off the sand right outside the channel Markers.

We are almost to...Miami, FL!!!

Coming up on the Port of Miami....many Cruise ships docked here.

Another Cruise ship...ready to board???

Government Cut (Ship Channel) Miami, FL

Many condo's along the water.

It was a Beautiful, Fun Time.

Miami, FL


We are in Biscayne Bay now...heading south leaving Miami behind us.

We are coming into the ICW from Biscayne Bay.
In the Keys now!!  This is Key Largo, FLorida Keys!

We had missed the one place we saw to stay the night in Key Largo, so
we are now in Florida Bay...watching the sun go down.

It is a beautiful Sunset...we still have quite a way to go yet.
Don't see any markers taking you into land to any marinas.

WE MADE IT!!!  Got the boat docked about 12:15 am on 11/1/2010.
This is behind our boat with the underwater lights on at 1:00 am in the morning.

Rick took a picture of me after I had washed the boat off...it is now
1:30 am.....he cut my head off and I think it was probably best....it had been
a long 16 hour day on the water...and ...I don't like boating at night too much.
