December 3
I went to the marina to grab a bagel for breakfast, and that's where we chatted with our catamaran neighbours, Bob and Tina from Denver, Colorado are also headed to the Bahamas for Christmas. They are tied up here in Ft. Lauderdale until their water filter/maker is all repaired. Talking about the holidays... this lounge is festively decorated with lights, wreathes and poinsettias. Wade was checking the weather this morning on the internet and then announced to me that we were going to the Florida Everglades for an airboat ride. I took a quick shower, went back to the boat to grab my camera... and headed for a long car ride towards Billie's Swamp Safari. I wasn't very thrilled about the potential to see snakes and alligators. Either way, we went for a smooth airboat ride... into the Swamp! Spotted a few alligators, birds, and fish. Then we proceeded to an indoor theater to watch a snake show. Doesn't sound very much exciting... but it was rather educational and visual. Hans was our host from Venezuela, he was extremely knowledgeable about snakes. The entire day was filled with new information. Our last ride was on the Swamp Buggy Eco-Tour... that was identical to Jurassic Park (the movie). When we came back to the boat... I was ready to crash. T'was a really full day in the Everglades.
