Fri. thru Monday- Have spent the past few days anchored in Key Biscayne. First night in Hurricane Harbor which was very protected and peaceful but surrounded by private homes with no place to get to shore. Spent Sat thru Monday at No Name Harbor, National park with protected anchorage, miles of bike trails and a great beach. Has been sunny and hot, did a lot of biking and swimming. The village is very pretty but this place must be a zoo in the summer. Only a short drive from Miami and the island is mostly State and National Park. Harbor was very busy and noisy with boaters Sat nite but quiet the rest of the time.
Tuesday- Hot and breezy, Sail to Boca Chita Key, another national park with protected harbor with inexpensive docks. tiny island but a great spot.
Wed. Breezy and cooler, Strong north wind. Had a great sail south where we anchored in the lee of Pumpkin Key off of Key Largo. Temps in lo 70's. All of Biscayne Bay is about 8-10 ft deep with shallower channels thru the reefs. Water very clear and can see bottom much of the time.
Today(Thurs) we leave Biscayne Bay and enter Florida Bay, Taking advantage of the favorable north winds to run south.
