Day #11: A drawbridge, a fast current, a narrow waterway, and three boats all trying to occupy the same space can lead to trouble. That's what happened to us today while up Ft. Lauderdale's New River. The short story is we put a scratch on a docked boat--our rubrail was way tougher than their gelcoat. You meet all sorts of nice people while out cruising. Today was no different. It's the manner in which we met that I don't care to repeat. I've got a feeling the repair will cost more than the $1 I'm using to show the size of the damage. The folks we hit were gracious. He told me he had once holed a boat with the bowsprit of his Hans Christian 43. Ouch.
We're at anchor this evening in Lake Boca Raton. 23nm today and 197nm total. DBH.
