Las Olas Municipal Marina

Back down the New River, we have tied up at the Las Olas Municipal Marina. It was a long journey back down the river with lots of inbound traffic - the Miami Boat Show being over, all the boats were returning to sites unknown.

For now, we will hang here, running the beach and enjoying the warmth and sunshine. Stay tuned for the next chapter...
