It is a fast moving river especially during a receding tide. Guess when Finally and Q's End arrived at the marina....4.5 knot current and we had to back into our slips. We stayed at Cooley's Landing, a city run marina, that is in a perfect spot for experiencing Fort Lauderdale. We backed onto a park and were right on the Riverwalk which allowed one to walk along the river to the numerous bars and restaurants in the area.
Right next door was the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. It had beautiful gardens and seating areas and was quite pleasant to just stroll along.
It was very special to just sit on the boat and watch the mega yachts go by.
Most go under their own power but quite a few need tow boats in front and back to help them maneouver through the tight and narrow bends in the river. Quite a way up the south fork of the river is a mega yacht boat yard. Ron you would love this place; the toys are much, much bigger. The yard has a 300 ton travel lift.
