Moved to Lake Sylvia

We walked to the beach this morning and had a coke and watched the crazies/different folks go by. As we returned to the boat you could see a front coming that was on the morning news. I got the dingy up on the davits and tied down when the wind gusted up over 35 plus knots and the boat swayed and healed. Then the rain began in earnest for 30 minutes or so and everything died down to just rain for another 30 minutes. We dropped the mooring lanyard and motored 1/2 miles to get gas and water, and then into Lake Sylvia for our departure with our two buddie boats to Miami tomorrow morning. The wind is to switch to the North and will make for a good sail. It should only take about 2 to three hours to cover the 20 miles. We will anchor at South Beach and hang out for several days. Carlene, Paula, DK and Normand will then depart for the Bahamas and we may go into the Keys for several days; however we have to be back here in Ft Lauderdale for Kath's arrival on the 23rd. She told us this morning she will start work with Fed Ex on the 2nd of April and she leaves us on the 1st. Kind of close. Nanc is having a good time with our friends and getting stronger. Her hair is growing back. S
