Hollywood Municipal Marina, Hollywood, Florida

The ship loading boats for transport. NaMaka was near the front. When we came by later in the evening, the back of the transport boat had been raised up out of the water.


At lunch at the Irish Pub

We had a great day today. We took the water taxi into Fort Lauderdale, then took the one that does the tour of Fort Lauderdale. Had heard from Louis and Louise on General Delivery that NaMaka was being loaded on a ship for transport to France at Port Everglades today. As we passed Port Everglades on the water taxi, we are sure we saw NaMaka on the ship. Got off the water taxi at the Irish Pub near Las Olas Boulevard, had lunch at the Irish Pub. The Pub is decorated with all things nautical, lots of crab pot markers, small boats hanging from the ceiling,etc, and that is just on the patio. While we ate we watched the boats passing up and down New River. After lunch, the men watched boats passing and walked along the river looking at boats docked along the river while Nancy, Marlene and I went shopping on Las Alos Boulevard. It is a street with lots of shops and restaurants. None of us bought anything, but we had fun looking. Took the water taxi around the rest of the route and tour, the houses along the water and the yachts are absolutely amazing. Came back to Hollywood and the marina after dark, so saw the houses and boats along the river all lit up, well worth seeing. We plan to stay here until Monday, so will tour more of Hollywood over the next 2 days.
