Once again, Jane and David picked us up, this time for breakfast. Their rental car only holds four people, so when the six of us go anywhere, they have to play shuttle bus. The restaurant was wonderful, and had some great signs.
The wind was brisk, but we decided to head out anyway. When we got into the canals, things smoothed out, but when we hit Biscayne Bay, things picked up again! The Intracoastal Waterway goes up the middle of the very large bay, and it had large waves. We could see Miami in the far distance, but were miles from either shore.
We called Dinner Key Marina, a city of Miami facility, and they had space in their mooring ball field, so we headed that way. The wind had really picked up by the time we pulled in and the waves were rough! We took FIVE passes at the mooring ball and still didn't get it, and I lost the boat hook. Two boaters got in their dinghies and came to help us, thank goodness. I was ready to head to the middle of the bay and wait until the waves calmed down. We made it, thanks to our friends, and had a rocking night!
