Miami!

We're on the northern leg up the East Coast and arrived at Miami. We'll spend 2 nights here and then move to Aventura (really still Miami suburbs) for 2 weeks so we can take in the Miami Boat Show and Kathy can go visit her family in Dallas for a week.
We met Angela here at Rickenbacker Marina. She's an active Hatteras Owner's Forum member working on refitting her boat and she got us this nice slip for a great price while the slip renter is working on his boat out of the water. Angela has a 58 ft. Hatteras named "Sanctuary" down the dock from us and she had us over for dinner Sunday evening when we got in. She's an excellent cook too. She cooked crispy parmesan chicken, potato and mixed peppers julienne and banannas foster on her boat for us. She owns the big Hatteras and is getting it ready to charter, first in Florida and then in the Virgin Islands. What an adventure!

I'm happy to be able to meet some of the nice folks I have talked to on the forum and it's great to run into such nice hospitality. Is the Hatteras Owner's forum great, or what?
This is the view from our flybridge at the dock. We're right across the bay from downtown Miami. It's even prettier at night.
