Lost in Biscayne Bay

Biscayne Bay and the 6 places we have explored

Another great destination discovered and learned, that of Biscayne Bay, south of Miami FL. Water is 10 feet deep, beaches and great towns around the perimeter and great flat calm waters for sailing. We have taken mooring balls at Dinner Key Marina, and at Coconut Grove Sailing Club. We have anchored off Hobie Beach, and we have sailed to and stayed at Boca Chita Key. 

We have watched kit boarders for hours sail and work off the sand bar off Key Biscayne. We have driopped off and picked up friends at Crandon Park Marina and we have sailed many times back and forth across Biscayne Bay which is only 4 miles wide! What a great location, I can see how this the playground for all those in the Miami area. 

If we really want to explore we can motor up into Miami and anchor out off the causway and off South Beach. So much to explore, and so many great places, two weeks is just not enough time to really learn this place. We plan to return here next winter and learn more. For now...we are visiting with Island Packet Friends, and awaiting the arrival of good friends Jeff and Sharon who will spend 3 nights aboard Island Spirit and help us with the last minute massive provisioning for our Bahamas run planned for March 1, 2012! We will be running with a full fleet of Island Packets from Government Cut inlet to West End Bahamas where we will check into the country. So far, it looks like...

• SP Catspaw
• 460 Cutter Loose
• 420 Flat Lander
• 40 Lark
• 35 Island Spirit
