SOUTH BEACH

Yes, sounds glamorous, but we had to get some work done here. Our water pump had gone out on Saturday, so we had to order a new one. It was delivered to our marina (Sunset Harbour) and John installed it this afternoon. We had stayed here last year. It is a very nice marina with VERY nice yachts. Again, we are the littlest kid on the docks. We continue to be amazed at the mega yachts down here. We never see the "owners" but there sure is plenty of crew around in their matching outfits with the yacht's logo on them.
We also had the dingy crane guy come and finally fix it. I am so excited, because that means it will be less hassle putting the dinghy in the water. I am looking forward to dingying in the Keys!!!!
Tomorrow, we head south to the Keys. We have spent HOURS trying to decide whether to take the "inside ICW " route or the "outside Atlantic" route. We have settled on the inside route. Bad news is that it is very shallow. Wish us luck. We both have some angst about these next few days.

  1. Wendy, we took the outside route, and it was fine for us. Maybe we were just lucky! That way you can go to Pennekamp Park in Key Largo - great stop. We anchored there and then moved into the lone (maybe one of two) slip when it became available - stayed about three days. We were heading north from Marathon, and we anchored somewhere (can't remember where it was - I'll check back if you want) halfway between Marathon and Pennekamp. In any case, have a great trip and a great time!
