| Dinner at Le Bouchon |
Pennsylvania friends, Eric and Cindy, came down for a couple days and were joined by their friends, Frank and Linda, from Naples.
Yesterday, we started out with breakfast at a sidewalk cafe. Afterwards we took the boat out for a tour of the Miami Skyline. On the spur of the moment, our Captain decided it would be fun to tie up at the Miami Beach Marina and have lunch on South Beach. It turned out to be a harrowing experience. Even though the marina is behind a breakwater, the current and wind were very strong. It was very difficult docking and our dinghy outboard on the aft deck hit the anchor on the bow pulpit of a large yacht! It knocked our outboard off the rail and it was saved as it dangled by the cable lock. Otherwise, it would have ended up in the water. We did make it into the slip, and John checked the other boat to assure we did no damage to it. At that point, we walked over to South Beach and had lunch. Being that it was Frank and Linda's 31st anniversary, we celebrated with those jumbo fruity drinks that SB is famous for. John had a diet coke, since he was our "designated captain". It turned out to be a fun afternoon after all.

We had a lovely sunset cruise back to Dinner Key Marina. We did a quick change and had a marvelous dinner at Le Bouchon French Restaurant in downtown Coconut Grove. Our friends left today, and we are recuperating.
Not that you needed an excuse for a jumbo fruit drink, but it always helps!
ReplyDeleteGlad that the anchor wasn't damaged on the other boat, and thankfully no lost engine on the dinghy! Now stop having so much fun and play WWF!!!
