Since we have a 50 plus mile day we have the anchor up and our on our way by 7:00 am before sun up. I had not been listening on the radio, but Mark tells us that a cruise ship is coming in. As we come around the bend in the inlet the Cruise ship looms ahead. We stay to the edge of the channel. Glad we are going in opposite directions and not being overtaken by this ship.
Wind is out of the northwest so we motorsail for a good part of the day.
Unfortunately the following seas become more rolly as the day progresses and gets rather annoying until we turn up the inlet to Fort Lauderdale around 2:00PM. We get tied up on the River Walk around 3:00 after we get our waste tank pumped out. Previously here, pumps out were available all along the wall, for all the boats, but as parts of the system failed the town has not fixed them. We head to the office to sign in and pick up some packages. After we shower on the boat we all walk to the Cheese Cake Factory on Las Olas Boulevard for dinner. Christmas eve and they are quite busy. We are all enjoying the Christmas lights of Las Olas Boulevard and along the River Walk.
