Final leg of our journey down the coast of Florida. As
Ric and Monica kept saying, "are we there yet", very nearly, and about bloody
time! If you drive from St Mary's Georgia to Miami it only takes about 10 hours,
so far it had taken us about a week! Had we have had better weather conditions
we could've done it in about 3-4 days but them's the breaks.
We headed out of the ICW at Fort Lauderdale and headed
down to Miami Beach along the coast. Saw our first shark here, a good 10 footer!
Arrived at Miami Beach Marina to refuel and do a little food shopping before we
headed over to the Bahamas. If Boca was hectic, it was nothing compared to this
place. We were a very small fish in a big pond surrounded by monster fish! Had
one very near miss with an impatient motor launch, almost took out the back
of our boat. Richard needed several cigarettes before he could even talk again
(not good practice when you are tied to a fuel dock). The guy at the dock just
laughed and said "welcome to Miami!"
