We left our peaceful anchorage at 6 am. We have a sh--- load of bridges to get through today, and the first one opens at 6:20 am.

We make it through the first bridge right on time, and get through a total of 17 bridges before we head offshore at Port Everglades around noon.

It's not too pretty offshore today--- seas 4-5 feet with a 4 second period. We only have 22 miles to go out here until we can duck back in. There is one 55 ft. Fixed bridge that we must get around by going offshore.

We raise both the main and the jib as we head out the inlet. Once outside, we cook along at 7.5 knots under sail. It is wonderful to be a sailboat again!!

Mid afternoon, the wind decreases and we start our engines for some assistance. It's still quite lumpy out here, but tolerable.

We head in Port of Miami at 4 pm, with what seems to be hundreds (slight exaggeration) of small, very fast boats. Music blaring, creating huge wakes---- welcome to Miami!!

We arrive at our anchorage at Biscayne Bay around 5 pm. We pass all the loud, obnoxious party boats in the anchorage, and head in to a quiet spot.

Dinner tonight is leftovers from yesterday. We're both suffering from a case of "obnoxious boater overload". Nothing that a few cocktails can't cure!!
