We are at anchor off Key Biscayne Bay, just south of Miami. We will stay here overnight and leave at 3am sailing for Marathon, Fl. Marathon is the first place we can go under a bridge and access the Gulf of Mexico. *ITS THE WEATHER that is creating delays and sailing inside the ICW instead of out in the Atlantic. For example, yesterday we motored about 40 miles with almost 20 bridges to "go under." IF we were out in the Atlantic we would expect to sail 120 miles in 24 hours. Non-stop.
I'm not even going to guess about our transit, the weather or our next port. I'll watch and see. But we are daily checking weather and charting our course based on the latest weather front moving in. We dont want to be out in the Gulf of Mexico when a big storm blows through!
Our view of the Miami skyline tonight ill surely be spectacular. I'll try to remember to get a photo.

You must be going across the Gulf now? No posts in a few days. Godspeed my friend. You can have Thanksgiving dinner here!
