Position: N25 47.560 W080 08.814
Location: South Beach, Florida
We moved yesterday (Saturday) so we could do some last-minute provisioning. The plan was to go shopping in the morning, then go for a sail in Biscayne Bay in the afternoon and anchor in No Name Harbour (how about that for a name?). When we dinghyed in to the store, we met some other cruisers and they told us there was a happy hour gathering on Monument Island in the middle of the Venetian Islands between Miami and Miami Beach. Being good cruisers, we remembered that plans are made to be changed, and we ended up sticking around for the party.
It was on a lovely beach on a tiny island, and we met several other people who will also be crossing to the Bahamas at the next opportunity. We all agreed that, if we leave in the same weather window, we’ll stay in touch via radio during the crossing in case anyone runs into trouble. And, while it’s a bit early to tell yet, it looks like we may get that weather window on Tuesday evening or Wednesday. We’ll keep you posted. Woohoo!
