Florida cruise with friends

A nine day cruise on the Inracoastal waterway from Daytona, Florida to Ft Lauderdale, Florida and back with friends in this very nice 41 foot yacht was a great get-away for this busy person! Docking each night at a classy marina and staying three days at Bahia Mar Marina in the heart of the beach area of Ft Lauderdale was quite an experience. Good food, good friends a lot of relaxing and gaining a nice golden suntan was a rare pleasure. Only the last day did we experience a few light showers while cruising and only one night of thunderstorms after we had docked.
The greatest surprise on this trip was the wealth shown of homes along more than a 100 mile stretch along the waterway. Most likely nothing less than a million dollars a home and the one shown here maybe $6,000,000 plus. While some were built 30 years ago for far less than a million, nothing is available for less than a million today. Some homes had 100 foot yachts like the one shown here in the top picture.
