Key Biscayne

We woke up this morning & were surprised how cold it was. There was a heat wave over the weekend & it hit 90 & now it's 50 degrees, what a change.

We started the day by getting 207 gallons of diesel fuel. We then headed south . There are so many low bridges in south Florida, it can really slow progress waiting for them to open. We lowered the radar mast & VHF antenna so we could fit under the bridges & not have to wait for them to open. It was fun seeing the City of Miami. We haven't seen that many buildings since New York City.

We pulled into Crandon Park Marina on Key Biscayne. Initially they told us over the phone that no slips were available, but we pulled in anyway because we needed water. We saw empty slips, so I went into the office. Now that I was there in person, they were magically able to find a slip for us. It's a nice marina, but no restaurant on site. We thought about riding our bikes, but the road right outside the marina is extremely busy, so we stayed put & had dinner on the boat with Hooper.

Tomorrow we head for Key Largo.
