Back to Dinner Key

The waters of the Bahamas?  No, afraid not.  The coastal waters off Florida take on the colors of the Bahamian waters, but lack the clarity.  Still, the colors are great!

We sailed into the Biscayne Bay, past the lighthouse that we visited a couple of weeks ago.  Seems to be even more crowded on the beach today!


Past the entrance to No Name Harbor.  Also crowded. We counted at least 10 masts in there, so there were at least 10 sailboats and many more motor boats. Not a day for us to try to anchor there!


Think there might be some money in Key Biscayne?  We think so...


Once in the bay, we had a good view of the Miami skyline.


The waters of the bay were bustling with boat traffic of all sorts...sailboats, motor yachts, small fishing crafts, commercial fishing boats, dive boats, jet skies,  jet skies pulling derelict pontoon boats...you name it, you could see it! Every one of them was in a hurry to get where they were going. We were glad to get to a mooring at Dinner Key Mooring Field.  You know what else is great about being back?  Lotsa TV channels!  Like NASCAR!!!!


The plan is to see Coconut Grove tomorrow, along with showers and a few groceries.  Then on Tuesday, we will take Latitudes to an anchorage at Miami Beach for a couple of days.  From then, we will work our way northward.
