Intracoastal Waterway - Fort Lauderdale & Boca Raton, FL
Video compilation of my various times on or around the Intracoastal Waterway in south Florida. The Intracoastal is a channel of water that runs parallel to the ocean, separated by the A1A. In order to get to the ocean you have to pass over the Intracoastal via various drawbridges that open at designated times. So in the same way that encountering TriRails, Amtraks and freight trains is a regular part of life in this region, so is the Intracoastal and the bridges. :)
A large portion of the video was taken while riding the Fort Lauderdale water taxi on a couple of occasions, which begins in downtown on the New River, before eventually connecting up to the Intracoastal. There are three main types of water taxi boats used - the smallest, which holds about 15 people, the mid size which holds about 40, and the big double decker complete with a bar and restrooms. You'll see all three types featured in this compilation. Vids were shot from aboard all three as well. The benefit of a daily ticket is that you can ride the water taxi for the entire day, getting on and off at any stop, and transferring around as much as you want. When you get on and off you never know which water taxi is going to be the next one to come by to your stop. Ride it around enough and you'll eventually get to try out all three boat types. When riding the water taxi the snarky/cheeky/semi informative narration comes with the ride, so, there's not anything I can do about that, though a lot of people may find some of it interesting. I interspersed some of the water taxi vids with corresponding video taken from land at the same spots, to give a little variation in perspective.
One of my favorite places to view the Intracoastal is Gumbo Limbo Environmental Center, here in Boca. The Ashley butterfly trail ends at a small patch of white sandy beach along the Intracoastal where you can sit on some benches and watch the boats go by among the mangroves. Another favorite spot is from Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, in Fort Lauderdale. Both are in this vid. (it happened to be high tide when you see the patch of beach at Gumbo Limbo in this vid, so, there wasn't much of a beach happening at that moment. :D ) And apologies in advance for any vids that have shakiness - some of my earlier vids had more of that going on before I became more mindful and tried harder to keep things level while videoing. Most of the water taxi vids are actually amazingly level, but.....that's because I tried *insanely* hard. :D Which is not always easy to do actually when you're in a boat, but, I just kept my camera propped on the water taxi rails.
Enjoy.....

New River, Fort Lauderdale Outbound to the ICW Time Lapse
Transiting the New River in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is often the subject of many passionate conversations at the yacht club bar. Fact is, local knowledge is truly is key to a stress free passage, recently, someone has placed a sign at the start of the river “CH 9 for new river traffic”, this has saved many a visitor from suffering the yells of a local boater “turn on your radio to CH 9”!
At the start of the New River, where it meats the ICW, there is an area locally called “the cross roads”, there is a shoal in the center, refer to your charts as the day markers can be confusing and change often between the different waterways in the area. In fact, and the end of the video, you can see a owner operator just run aground and start to back off the submerged island that drys at MMLW.
This video starts up river at Marina Bay and ends at the ICW/New River Crossroads in Fort Lauderdale FL USA.
Here are some tips from my limited New River experiences.
Monitor VHF CH 9.
Announce security calls on VHF CH 9 at the start of your run and throughout depending on your size, location, current, towing, etc.
Traffic is “inbound” or “outbound” not “northbound”, “down stream”, “up river” and so on.
Down current has the right of way! And offer some curtesy to the owner operator running down street with the single screw sailboat or similar, these kinds of boats can’t just stop with the current on their stern.
The current changes direction with the tide. Andrew Avenue is a good published tide and current station.
Communicate on CH 9 and make passing arrangements before you meet at a bad spot on the river, you can see examples of this in my little video. Note that I had the current on my bow, so I was the giveaway vessel.
Learn the landmarks before you set sail:
Markers 1 & 2
Tarpon Bend
The Girls School
The Tunnel
3rd Ave Bridge
Andrews Ave Bridge
Performing arts center
7th Ave bridge
The fork
Little Florida
Davie Blvd Bridge
The wiggles
LMC
95 and the CSX Railroad bridge
Marina Bay
Secret Woods Park
Pipe Welders
Broward Marine
Rolly Marine
8) Note the “rush hour” closure times for the bridges on the river.
Bridges are closed to pleasure traffic: 7:30AM - 9:00AM and 4:30PM - 6:00PM Monday to Friday
9) Bridges are on demand via VHF CH 9, but will have to clear foot and auto traffic first. Call when the bridge is insight.
10) If a bridge just opened and you missed it, the bridge operator will clear some traffic then open for boat traffic when able.
11) The “Jungle Queen” or “JQ” is a big tour boat that runs the entire river and tends to slide around, you will here this boat on the VHF CH 9, make a passing arrangement is a safe area.
12) If you here a security call from a towing company like “Steel Towing”, they are likely towing a large vessel, also make passing arrangements in this case.
13) Learn the sound signal rules for passing and for blind corners for US inland waterways.
14) Long blast on blind corner….. The rules are quite clear on the matter, however, almost no one on this waterway follows this rule. One could say the locals are just “too cool” for this and rely on the VHF or home owners get upset with all the noise. Whatever the case, I choose to follow the law and I suggest you do also. You never know, a Captain may have just picked up a 120’ boat at the end of the river for the first time and has no idea river traffic is monitoring VHF CH 9….
15) No wake, my advice is, go as slow as you can to keep proper steerage, this can be pretty quick with a 4-5 knot current pushing you along.
For the geeks: Video shot with GoPro 4 Black at 720p, external power supply, iMovie to crop and speed up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22-year-old Jessica Vaughn was bitten by a bull shark while swimming in the Intracoastal Waterway near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Sunday.
Vaughn had to overcome her fears to join friends on the tubing / swimming excursion. I've always had feelings of something down under there, she said, because of the dark murky waters.
Her friends entered the water 30 minutes prior to Vaughn getting in. She was in the water for only about 30 seconds before the shark chomped into her leg. The shark then lifted its tail out of the water and smacked Vaughn in the face
She was helped out of the water by her friends who then applied pressure to the crescent shaped wound. A nearby resident called 911 when she overheard screams coming from the dock. Emergency personnel picked her up and rushed her into surgery.
Fort Lauderdale's Fire Rescue posted gruesome pictures of the aftermath to their Twitter account.
Authorities credit her friends' fast actions for saving Vaughn's life. She is expected to be released from the hospital within a few days.
Vaughn does not have health insurance but a Go Fund Me account has been set up to help raise money to cover her medical expenses.
