Day 58 – March 3, 2022 – Key Largo to Ft. Lauderdale – Pier 66 Marina

  • 80.3 miles
  • 9 hours 48 minutes
  • 6-11 mph winds

Today was a long but beautiful day of cruising. We traveled through Biscayne Bay and Miami to Ft. Lauderdale. The traffic was not as bad as we had thought it might be although we did have to wait at several bridges for the next opening. We could not get over the number of condos in and around Miami nor the number and sheer size of the yachts in Ft. Lauderdale which has been dubbed the “Yachting Capitol of the World”.

We had lunch at Coconuts on Friday. Oh. My. Word! The Scoobies were AMAZING!

Kevin’s boss drive down from Palm Beach on Saturday and we had a delicious lunch at 15th Street Fisheries.

Sunday was spent planning the next leg of our journey, a trip to Publix and dinner at Southport Raw Bar.

On Monday, we took rode around Ft. Lauderdale in a water taxi and got a close up look at many beautiful homes and yachts. A real live episode of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”!

We had fun sending the photo below to family and friends and, in a nod to “Where’s Waldo?” we asked “Where’s Perfect Match?”!
