FRIDAY FEBRUARY 18TH

Cloudy and cool. So what else is new??? We are headed for Miami today. The water is a bit deeper. Three feet under the boat now!!!!

There must be some type of boat rally going on further down in the Keys this weekend. We could see boat spray way off in the distance. The first group that came past, we didn’t even have time to get the cameras before the boats arrived and roared past us. Ross and Mark guessed a couple of them were going 80 to 90 miles per hour.



They look like they are just skimming along the surface of the water and would flip if they hit a wave. Boat after boat whizzed past. They went so fast that it was hard to get a photo. I am glad we are not putting the fuel in these things!!!









This one had all sorts of Batman
graphics all over it. And of
course the Batmobile fins
on the back.









It was an easy trip to Miami. We decided to anchor in Sunset Lake, which is at the end of a canal. There are other boats anchored here as well. Very quiet and scenic with beautiful homes and palm trees every direction you look. Oh, and it's free! The marinas in the Miami area are very expensive. $3.50 to $9 per foot a night. Our boat is 44 feet long, even longer if you include the dinghy and bow pulpit. Some marinas will include those things in the length also. You do the math……..it’s a no brainer to anchor.
