Delray Beach City Marina - at a dock

 

Florida is in bloom!

This place is a real gem. We did laundry at the free washer and dryer, used the free pumpout, took on free water, refilled my ice bucket with free ice, and washed down Fleetwing. It was a busy day but we’re ready for the leg to Key West now. 

The beach is only four blocks away

Meanwhile, the area is nicely landscaped and the beach is only four blocks away. I took a walk over and with the warm day in the 70s, it was packed. There are tons of shops and several large hotels nearby as well as many, many places to dine. It would be easy to spend a week here. 

We also had a visit from this fellow

The docks are only available when the owner of the dock is away. In this tight market for docks, every dock is already rented for the year but the marina will rent out docks when the owner is away on a trip. We were able to stay the extra day since no one was due back on Sunday. 

By staying two days, we were able to avoid the canyon on a weekend, always a plus. We hope to pick up a mooring at Las OIas on Monday in preparation for a trip down the ICW to Miami and marine stadium where we will bide out time for good weather to move farther west down the Keys.
