Just a quick note about this blog - We have been having internet problems so have not been able to update it that often. Also, we are unable to download (upload?!) any photos to it. But we hope to get the problem fixed soon!
We sailed the outside route to Miami a week ago and anchored just to the north of Governor's Cut off the Miami Yacht Club. It was Super Bowl day so we dinghied in to the club for a casual supper. (We actually didn't stay for the game!!)
The next day Doug and Marnie, RCYC friends who have brought their trawler south for the winter, came aboard for dinner. It was a lovely warm evening, if a bit blustery. A boat moored near us broke its' anchor rope and drifted happily by, until caught by some energetic locals. That morning we had explored the canals that run behind South Beach in our dinghy, and discovered some peaceful achorages for the future.
The next day we pulled anchor and headed for lovely Biscayne Bay. It was a clear and warm day with good sailing wind, so we spent the day sailing in the bay before heading to a dock at Dinner Key Marina. We have been here ever since!
Dinner Key is in Coconut Grove, which is an area which reminds us a little of the Beaches in Toronto. We met up with Marnie and Doug again on Friday to drink the free 'Ladies Night' champagne at 'Green Street Restaurant', and have dinner at 'Jaguar'.
Tonight we will meet Sue, a school friend from the Isle of Wight, for dinner. Next week will be the Miami Boat Show and then the Coconut Grove Arts Festival at the end of the week. We will probably move from our dock tomorrow (Valentine's Day!) and either take a mooring or find a nearby anchorageso we can take in all the 'action'!
The past two days have been very cool with some rain! So yesterday we resorted to going to the movies. We saw 'The King's Speech'. A wonderful film - highly recommended.
