Blog Entry 0028 Sailing Seniors Adventure Day 196

Subject:  Port Everglades.

Let me give you a little background.  Ten years ago I went on my first cruise,aboard Holland American cruise lines. (http://www.hollandamerica.com/main/Main.action?T.mc_id=PPC_HQ_Google_US_Brand)   Which departed from Ft. Lauderdale, Port Everglades.  (http://www.porteverglades.net/).  The picture below shows Captain Steve at the helm with no hands on the wheel .  Yes I know ... but look at the apartment houses in the picture below.  Cruise ships usually depart late in the afternoon, or early evening.  As the ships pass these apartment buildings,  the occupants turn their lights on and off as a way of saying 'bon voyage'.   I had such a good time on my first cruise, I subsequently went on quite a few cruises from various ports.  But never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would be cruising through the same port - Port Everglades on my own sailboat.  If you don't believe that dreams come true - you should because they really do!  To be living on a sailboat, cruising  is truly a dream come true!

Yes, the water is really this color and clear!  (See how calm the water is - nothing compared to the last time!)

Sea u later!  Arriving in Miami!
