On the way out of Fort Lauderdale we stopped for fuel. We didn’t stop at a marina (where the price is high) instead, you pull up to a floating gas station! Carlos helped us fill our tanks while filling our ears with tales of “board paddling”. It’s a sport where you stand up on a surfboard and use a long paddle to move yourself around (a lot of people are doing it down here).
From Fort Lauderdale south to Miami it’s nothing but large buildings, bridges and big boats so we went outside for the trip south. By the time we made it to Miami the wind had come around on the nose and it wasn’t a fun ride anymore so, it was nice to get off the ocean and into Biscayne Bay. You know your finally south when all the trees are Palm Trees.
You could hear the BANG! as they stacked containers onto this ship from a ¼ mile away.
Finally, we anchored behind Biscayne Key with a beautiful view of Miami during the day and again, awash in light at night.
It was a good day to travel.
