Got up at 05:30hrs to get a head start on the day so we could get to No Name harbor anchorage at Key Biscayne which is 10 NM south of Miami. Winds were 10-15 knots gusting to 20. We had our main sail up and that was plenty for me as we were still healed 20-25 degrees. As the day went on the winds died down and were almost right on the nose but we still managed to get 7.1 knots with the help of the engine. Todd trying to pass three other sailboats in case they were going to No Name Harbor we passed all but one and it turns out that he was not going to No Name harbor after all. The day was Beautiful. Coming into the Florida Bay we were in 17' of water and you could see bottom watching the star fish etc. as we sailed. We dropped anchor and by 15:30 hrs we were having sun downers in the cockpit watching boats & people come and go. We had another great dinner of BBQ Ribs & all the fixing it was tasty. We then watched the sun set and had a few more cocktails. How wonderful it was to get back into familiar territory. See pics.
