We shook out the sand at 4:00 am & drove to the airport for a 7:10 am flight under a bright sun and clear blue sky. The flight went well and we easily made the connecting flight in Philadelphia after a long walk from concourse to concourse. Chris’s ear infection seemed to be of little trouble so it was good that he did not take the day and a half long train ride to Ft. Lauderdale. All bags appeared in baggage claim and we speed off into the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale in our new rental car. The boat was at a dock in a residential area. Each small house backed up to a palm lined canal with many such boats both sail and power in tight parallel rows. Dinner was at a Mexican restaurant with tamales and blue agave tequilas. The smoky taste of blue agave tequila imparts a special pleasure to margarita drinking. The night was warm early on but cooled as the dawn approached. However, the boat across the canal periodically discharged water from its cooling system which, through the open porthole, sounded like the Jolly Green Giant urinating. .
