We are back onboard in Miami, at Crandon Park, Key Biscayne, waiting for a weather window to head for the Bahamas. We need 2 days of winds not from the east (where the prevailing tradewinds blow from) to make it to Nassau. Looks like next weekend may be a good time to go.
Meanwhile, I guess our friends in Yorktown will not be too sympathetic that we have to cool our heels here in Miami walking along the beach in 80deg weather.
The forecast was for a tropical disturbance with rain all day today but the hard rain seems to be on north side of Miami. We have blue skies over Biscayne Bay.
This photo is from Biscayne Bay looking north towards Miami as we were entering the channel up to Crandon Park. Today its all heavy rain clouds over Miami, but blue skies over us in the marina on the island.
Key Biscayne is a very nice place to visit with its State Park and National Park and walking/biking trails. We spotted this peacock standing proud as we walked by. There also are many parrots and lorikeets in the coconut trees here. And, crows, seagulls, pelicans galore in the marina that make a mess on your boat.
This is where we want to be next week - in the Bahamas outer islands.
