We had a blast on it - we took this boat from Micco / Sebastian to Fort Lauderdale where it sat and waited, and waited, and waited for the freighter to bring it to the West Coast. But oh some of those fixed bridges... pretty scary ~ too close to the top of our mast!<BR/>But yeah, we only draw 3 feet.Jim and Heather on Meerkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952729809478329589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536178143044022197.post-74941194314677292802008-11-23T15:02:00.000-08:002008-11-23T15:02:00.000-08:00Mmmm, sounds like my kind of evening...

But, if I ever had a boat that drew less than 4 feet I would probably love it. I just had a bad exprience that's all... ;(Joleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830285092716472829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536178143044022197.post-41966745251202317312008-11-23T11:06:00.000-08:002008-11-23T11:06:00.000-08:00Sunsets are everything to those of the Conch Repub...Sunsets are everything to those of the Conch Republic! <BR/>We forget and take them for granted here.<BR/>Now that we are on the end of the dock I am trying to make them an important part of our day again!<BR/>If you are on the water side of Fort Liquordale, you can watch them over the ICW!Jim and Heather on Meerkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952729809478329589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536178143044022197.post-42343504872434795562008-11-23T09:45:00.000-08:002008-11-23T09:45:00.000-08:00What a LOVELY evening!

Everyone is always asking,"what are you doing for sunset?" and everyone meets up at a number of different sunset watching bars and beaches. That's the only island I know of that gives a crap about the sunset. The USVI and BVI sure didnt. <BR/><BR/>OH HAI! i just rambled on your comment page... <BR/><BR/>hah!Joleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830285092716472829noreply@blogger.com
