Dania Beach, FL - 3/23/11

Ricki and I were semi- conscious watching the Today Show on TV when we heard a knock on our door. I had told Skip to let me know when he needed to go for a pumpout and this was it. He also has a tank tender on the holding tank and it turned red and was in need. We pulled out about 9:30 and headed for Harbor Town Marina since Skip did not have a clearance issue under the fixed bridge in his Carver. As we turned off the AICW into Dania Cut we saw a Sea Tow operator towing a very nice looking boat and followed it to the marina where the tow boat turned it around and into a dock. Skip handled the pumpout and we were ready to leave when I took the photo of the "special offer" of $500 worth of fuel for signing up for dry storage.















Approaching boats as we headed back down Dania Cut toward the AICW.





There were really BIG BOYS in the canal today.





The yellow boat is a fuel barge that anchors in the AICW for drive up customers. The fuel from the barge is usually about $1.00 per gallon cheaper than the fuel at the marinas.






Quest in the slip at high tide.










Low tide ..... the tide range is only about 2 1/2 feet in this part of Florida but you still need to be watchful of how you arrange the tie up.









More food ... we decided to grill hot dogs for dinner this evening and had about 9 boaters (7 loopers).
Tomorrow we are going to a boat show north of Ft. Lauderdale. Another chance to pick up valuable stuff that we probably don't need.
