Lake Sylvia, Fort Lauderdale

 


Like finding the prize in the Cracker Jack, this beautiful Island Packet (anchored behind us) picked up a bicycle off the bottom.  Unable to get the bike untangled from her chain and anchor she left the anchorage with it sadly hanging on her bow.


While anchored in Lake Sylvia, Fort Lauderdale we found very few options to get to land.  We were happy when our friend, Henry (Michielsen) found a way to contact us through the home construction site beside this bridge.  Even though the home is not yet fully constructed it has a street address and a mailbox.  We ordered pizza delivery one night to the "mailbox" as well as $600.00 in groceries through Instacart from Publix.  


A dinghy ride under the bridge and across the ICW allowed us access to garbage drop off and fresh water.  As we found out, travel under at low tide is considerably easier than when the tide is high.
