We left No Name Harbour on Friday, traveled through Biscayne Channel & Stiltsville to Hawk Channel. Arrived at Rodriguez Key and anchored for the night. We left there Saturday morning and continued on Hawk Channel to Channel 5 bridge to the Gulf side and anchored at Lower Matecoumbe Bight. After arriving, Greg rescued 2 jet skiiers in distress. Another downpour. So we spent Sunday drying out and relaxing.

Arrived in No Name Harbour anchorage on Tuesday, about 5 miles from Dinner Key. Had a nasty squall and thunderstorm on Wednesday. For 2 hours it blew between 40 - 60mph. One boat was struck by ligtning and blew out his electronics. Another vessel dragged anchor with no one onboard. After the storm Greg and another man secured the drifting vessel. We just were wet, wet, wet! Dried out on Thursday.

We arrived at Dinner Key Marina, Key Biscayne just before 6pm after a benign gulf stream crossing. We knew we were back in the USA when we were greeted by numerous wave jumping jet skiis, that had no regard for traffic! Had a great fresh red meat dinner(prime rib) and enjoyed a sound sleep!

Arrived at Bimini late afternoon. Uneventful crossing the Great Bahama Banks, a little rolly at anchor, broke the rubber snubber on the anchor snubber line. Not a problem, just not a restful night. Greg saw a freighter about 3am bearing down on us, thankfully we were well lit and he turned away from us. We were not in any shipping channels.

Well, we waited out the first blow here and the second one too. We had over 12 in of rain last Saturday and it rained for 3 days. Drying off, putting things away, getting ready to head to Bimini on Fri & Sat. Hopefully, Gulf Stream crossing on Sunday and arrive in Miami. We also, enjoyed some fresh conch we cleaned.

We arrived in the Berry Islands on Thursday. We spent the first night anchored off Devil's and White Cays. Beautiful spot, then on Friday we arrived at Great Harbour Cay Marina. We went here to wait out the next big blow. It is very protected here and they have concrete docks. Doing more boat chores and daily walks with Newton.
