2-27-2011 NEW RIVER, FORT LAUDERDALE

ROBERT ARRIVES


SUNDAY

TOTAL MILES TRAVELED TODAY: 0 NM

As we lazed around, drinking our morning coffee and watching Sunday Morning, energetic runners raced past the Quest. The kids were trailing the adults but working just as hard and having way more fun.


ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?  YOU BET!

After a quick trip to the nearby Publix market for a few needed supplies, we stopped at the Argie Grill for a lunch of great empanadas. The owners migrated from Argentina and establish this little shop to share some of their home country food with us hungry customers.

This afternoon we took the dingy back towards the coast to snoop. We came into the New River from this direction but were too busy trying to maneuver the twisty-turny curves and work our way in with the really “big boats” to really take in the sights. More super boats and fabulous homes lined the canals and we spent lots of time weaving in and out of the water maze. What do these people have to do to make that kind of money?

JUST ONE OF THE MANY LOVELY RETREATS ALONG THE CANALS

IT'S A TOUGH JOB BUT SOMEONES GOTTA DO IT.

Robert made all his flights and was here on the Quest before 6:30, enjoying the warmth. We gave him enough time to slip into some shorts then walked to a dinner overlooking the river. Even though darkness was upon us, boats continued to come up the river as they headed for home after a weekend of play.
