Nov 8- ICW 1064- Fort Lauderdale

We are finally here. We are docked at the Hall of Fame Marina which is next door to the BahiaMar marina complex where the Fort Lauderdale Boat show was held. MANY MEGA YACHTS. We have a slip in a fortunately quiet area. The ICW is to one side.. relatively far away and the main highway is a good dock walk away on the other side. In front a few dozen Mega Yachts across the fairway. You can get awoken by the sound of bow thrusters.

There is the International Hall of Fame swimming pool where lap lines are set up with a huge clock and from time to time, groups come through to practice swim meet stuff. They must have had an Olympic swim met here once.. huge place. http://www.ishof.org/about/

Charles did some walking this morning and found a high rise walkway to the beach only a block away. We can also dodge traffic on Sunrise Blvd the one block if we want. Coconuts restaurant has out of this world coconut shrimp for lunch.

We went to West Marine this afternoon. There are two in town and the part we ordered was at the southern one. We have been told ( for St Augustine store) that West Marine is opening a mega store with the largest square footage store in the system on Friday of this week. We may have to delay checking it out.

We will do some brite work tomorrow and general clean up with our goodies from West Marine.
