Great advice. Here is also a link that also shows what you are talking about and how you can stall out trying to follow 'a GPS 'rhumb line'....

Thanks MrBill, I remember you well from my Mac days. I owned Watermark, you provided lots of good advice for our Keys trips.
Bob, you can still anchor without problems in Sunrise Lake just North of Sunrise Blvd bridge. I was there on Jan 21. Five other boats in the anchorage. 7 feet of water. Only 3 bridges from Port Everglades inlet (Sunrise, Las Olas, & SE 17th Avenue). There are on a schedule so you can time yourself. Have a nice trip. Claude
Hi Bob, I remember you and watermark well!
Thanks ! Can't beat local knowledge !Hi Bob, I remember you and watermark well!
I don't know, only been there for afternoon bbq, raftups after races...
legally they can't do much... but they can be a PITA. I do know some of the club has over nighted
Oh, another alternative is South (from Port everglades) on the ICW to 'North lake' in hollywood. I know plenty of boats that stay (unattended) for a week or so.
this image shows boats anchored(club is in left corner 2 ramps)

plenty of good restaurants close, publix is not that close (cab or uber). (hollywood circle)
-that is also right in front of Gulfstream sailing club. (this saturday 11am sunfish races for $15.) there is also a dingy dock near the boat ramp, or the hollywood marina.
-Oh mon, I wish I was go go going !

-edit, the only problem with the sunrise lake location is it the end of the no wake zone. sometimes you'll get waked.... hollwood and lake siliva are both in no wake zones.
peanut island is probably a better anchorage, if you can to run south a bit out of the inlet for west end.
Understand you're crossing from Lake Worth. FYI Lake Sunset with the nasty owner is near Miami, maybe Miami Beach. There is a by-law that allows 7 days anchoring in there, but that nasty owner calls the police and complains as soon as one drops anchor. I was visited by the police and they nicely told me they knew who he was and to ignore him. They had to have me sign a paper stating I knew about the 7-day stay but they also told me if I needed more time because of problems or bad weather to call them and they would gladly give me an extension. It was not needed but good to know. Sunrise Lake is in Fort Lauderdale and there is also good access to shore for your killer dog
!
We are in the Abbaco's heading to Marsh Harbour with a leaking raw water pump ! It does not look like they have a pump or seals in Marsh for our Yanmar. I may get a friend to pick one up in Ft Lauderdale when they fly in to sail with us in a couple of weeks. Until then we are limping along and bailing the sump under the engine out after each day's run.
