Biscayne Bay

Departed Miami at 9:30am. We wanted to leave much earlier to coincide with slack tide but the fog was so bad we had to wait until it lifted.

Biscayne Bay was as smooth as glass today and we enjoyed a lovely cruise. On the way we were befriended (adopted?) by a pair of dolphins who surfed on our bow wave for at least ten minutes. Those guys really know how to have fun!

With calm seas and the autopilot driving, we could sit out front and enjoy the view. Pam took advantage to the time and gave herself a pedicure (see photo).
At 3:25pm today we passed through Jewfish Creek and officially entered the Florida Keys! We made it!! Continued on for a few miles and dropped anchor off Key Largo. We will hang around here for a few days before one last push to Marathon. The marina says the repair work on the slips should be completed on Dec 10th.
