Pepromenon Adventures: 11/10-11/15 Welcome to Miami!

Nov 10-
From Vero Beach we travelled to Hobe Sound near Jupiter. The inlets were beautiful with blue green water! We had a visitor alongside the boat for awhile early in the morning.

The weather was warm and we went for a swim after anchoring.

Nov 11
On to Lake Boca Raton. Mansions now line the ICW and keep us entertained.

Ft Lauderdale area

Lots of mega yachts!

At our anchorage, the water was so clear we could see the anchor resting on the bottom. Then an eagle ray swam by!
Today we passed through 20 drawbridges.

Bob needed a nap after a stressful day of drawbridges!

Nov 12
More drawbridges! Very hot now, 90 degrees, which is unusual for November we are told. Made it to just north of Miami. Went for a swim again.

Floridians love to party on the sandbars!

A police boat came by and felt we were anchored too close to some mega mansions, so we moved a bit father out.

Nov 13
Into Miami!

We got lucky and rented a mooring ball at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club on Biscayne Bay. The mooring field is very protected and is downtown Coconut Grove.
We immediately walked to our favorite grocery store, The Fresh Market and had some Cuban sandwiches cooked up.

Nov 14-15
Turns out it was members work weekend at "the club". What else did we have to do? So, we joined in. Bob worked on building a wall, and Carol was assigned to sewing projects. It ended up being a lot of fun and we met lots of local sailors! Rain and thunderstorms off and on all weekend!
