Nice InterCoastal Waterway (ICW) trip today! Waves were 2 to 4 ft. outside, but flat and smooth in the protected ICW behind the barrier islands.
We cruised slowly up from Miami to Aventura, which is really just North Miami. Temps were about 80 all day and the flybridge view was fun. We went slow because of manatee zones and a number of bridges that had to open for us. This one has only 13 ft. clearance and with our antennas down we still need 24 ft. to go under.
Going north in the ICW, Miami was on our port side for the whole trip.
On the starboard side all the way was Miami Beach, the barrier islands now built up like a beautiful high rise city, with the beaches on the ocean side. There were lots of tiny islands that dotted the bay between Miami Beach and Miami and they were all little parks, accessable only by boat.
We're at Turnberry Isle Marina here in Aventura. We're a little boat again here, the second one in on the far side of the pictured dock.
This place is absolutely full of really big boats. That big one at the far end of the dock is 140 ft. long. We'll stay here 2 weeks so we can visit interesting places, see the Miami International Boat Show............
.....and Kathy will fly to Dallas for a week to visit her family there. I like this picture of Kathy, it just looks like she looks. She's been really good the whole trip at keeping me in the channels and off of the rocks.
