Nandad has secured a slip for the next few days so that he can get a few issues taken care of. The stern truster motor hopefully will be installed on Wednesday. The Puritan Ex head system,in the Captains cabin, needs a service. The engine filter needs changing and of course it’s time again for laundry, pumpout, water fill and provisions. Just like the house - always something to pay attention to.
Today was a very interesting cruise. Many low bridges along the way made for a slow cruise - NH can pass safely under Bridges 16ft. in the middle. Commercial Bridge at Lauderdale-by-the Sea, Atlantic Bridge at Pompano Bridge, and Northeast 14th Street Bridge at Hillsboro Inlet.
The Hillsboro Inlet Bridge is easily identified by the lighthouse. The lighthouse is 136-foot-tall with one of the most powerful beacons on the coast - according to Waterway Guide. There is no foot, vehicle or boat access to the Lighthouse however several times a year tours from the Sands dock will take groups. Next tour date is April 10th. The Lighthouse Point Marina is not on the ocean side and NH did not pass under the Hillsboro Bridge as she stayed on the ICW. We are now at SM 1053.5. There is a pool here, the Nauti Dwag Marina Cafe, tennis court, laundry etc. It is a four mile bike ride to the beach which means riding on the AIA which is really busy - so we will see.
