We felt like we were at Elliott Key back home in Biscayne bay on a weekend. The power boats were coming in droves...and we were totally surprised with Dudley just commenting on the size of the tiny anchorage behind the beach on our short 'motor' 8 nm over here to this newly evolved harbor!
My captain was awe struck by the missing beach that was completely and totally eroded away that he'd walked on numerous times over the years and you can see why...check out those aggressive waves that did the dirty deed. Mother nature can be a royal b_ _ _ _! Just an hour ago, there was enough beach at low tide to walk around that tree on the left of the shot.
Very interesting that the only other sailboats are on the windward side of Gun...and we are here on the lee and gulf stream side of Gun....hmmmm.

| Vessel Make/Model: | Tartan 34' |
| Hailing Port: | Coconut Grove Sailing Club |
| Crew: | Dudley Clark and Becky Butler |
| About: | Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish! |
| Extra: | This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet! |
