April 26-27, 2010
The rain and winds did come on Monday morning until mid-afternoon when it cleared up. We enjoyed a lovely walk on the Ft. Lauderdale beach across the street from our marina. While it had been a beehive of activity on the weekend, it was practically vacant and pristine on this Monday. It is a pretty beach with huge long needle pine trees and palms. It has many grills and tables for groups to enjoy. There s a very nice playground for children, basketball court and numerous volleyball courts on the beach. We enjoyed a quiet sunset cocktail hours on the boat and ate aboard.
Tuesday morning found us up early and departing for our trip to Miami and Biscayne Bay. We started with 12-13 kts of wind from the NW so we were abel to sail until about noon when the winds dropped to under 5 kts and we had to use the iron wind ( the engine). We entered Miami through the Govt. cut and switched to the Fisher IS cut continuing on into Biscayne Bay to Dinner Key Marina. We cleaned up the boat and ourselves and walked up to Coconut Grove for dinner at the Jaguar Restaurant. It was a beautiful night with a full moon over Miami.
