My Dad and I are going to move my boat from Lauderdale to Indiantown Marina early December. I am going to haul the boat at Indiantown and store it on the hard for a few months, then come back to Florida early summer to cruise around FL some, and eventually bring it back to Texas.
The trip looks like about 97nm from the current slip in Lauderdale to Indiantown, and we were planning to split it up into two days of running. Any marina recommendations around halfway or so that would make a good overnight stopping spot? Maybe something with a decent restaurant/bar? We may not not have a dingy on this trip if that matters.
Anything I need to be aware of on this route? I think there is one lock we need to negotiate-- my dad is 80 but still pretty strong so I'm hoping he will be OK helping out with the lines.
Is two days enough time to make this trip? The boat does 6-7 knots and draws less than 4'.
