Good bye Miami……..we hope anyways!

It's Sunday afternoon and we are motoring down to No Name Harbor for an expected departure for the Bahamas tomorrow morning.  The north winds are laying down for a day and a half, turning west so perhaps we'll have a downwind sail (cross the fingers) and get into Nassau before the strong N winds come back in.  Right now that is the plan.

It has been cold and windy for the last week or so and we finally decided to at least go south for a few nights to get out of the crazy city.  It seems to be more busy and noisy every time we pull into Miami.  I guess it's just not our thing for very long.  Some people like it more than us that's for sure.

So off to Barnes Sound for the best conch fritters in the "world"!  Yes, we made our annual migration down to Alabama Jacks and we timed it perfect!  The music was blasting and the place was packed.  We were the only sailboat in the anchorage but who cares.  Dingh-go took us to the dock and we had our dinner with music….

The sign says it all……

This is real "country"!

Just what is closed??

Our anchorage is at the top left





















We were able to spend another night down in Biscayne Bay before the next northerly came through so we went over to one of our favorite anchorages at Sands Key and thought we would have it all to ourselves……well, almost as two other cats saw us and came near.  Not too bad but we had to have a boat in our sunset shots.
Not Nati….


While in South Beach "Cruz" is loving life….now we have a flowering orchid going across the Gulf Stream with us!

Cruz blooming again!


Teagan…..we have the latest butterfly for you……


See you all in the Bahamas……ah warm, clear water!!  We can't wait!!!!
