The Lauderdale Yacht Club dates as far back at 1938 and is on the Intracoastal in Rio Vista, another beautiful neighborhood in our city. They were having the 2007 First Annual LYC Murcury Invitational Regatta and we watched the younger sailors from banks of the Intracoastal.
You can see how small the sailboats are and also how small the kids are. You can also see the 17th Street Causeway bridge open for boats. A lovely sunny afternoon with just enough of a breeze to make sailing enjoyable.
If you are into bridges that open, check out the website about the building of the 17th St Causeway Bridge. http://www.dot.state.fl.us/structures/botm/17thstreet/17thstreet.htm They have some nice photos there as well as stats about the bridge. It is the newest and largest bridge that we have in Fort Lauderdale.
This week both Heinz and Frenchie were in the shop. The piece that we have been waiting for, (a swing arm) came in for Frenchie, and Heinz had to have the starter replaced. One day Heinz was running great and the next he would not start, so Varsity Cycle had to come and get him. They called back a little later and told us he needed a new starter. Now they are both home and looking forward to some fun on the roads again.We have to say that the service department at Varsity Cycles is really top notch! They are so nice and accommodating. We are also lucky in that we have a 3 year warranty.

Are pontoons and sails on the horizon for the scoots?
I love looking at your pics of Vespas, palm trees, warm waters and sail boats, especially on these cold winter days!
irondad, afraid we are landlubbers. Is that a word?
Kano, so glad we can warm up your cold day. We read about all the winter rides and are amazed at how they can do it. If the temp drops out of the 70's here we are shivering and whining whimps.
