We woke up early, un-tied and cast off with Sue at the Helm, motoring the 30 minutes down the ICW. We timed our departure so that we could make the timed openings of the two bridge between the boats slip and the cruise ship port of Port Everglades, where we would access the Atlantic.
We entered the Atlantic and turned South to head to Miami. Unfortunately, the wind was directly on our nose, so it was about 6 hours of motor-sailing along the coast.
Sure, we would have preferred to sail, but it was a really relaxing trip and Sue was driving the boat like a boss!
After motor-sailing, we entered the Miami area, motored past the Miami Boat Show location and then down to No Name Harbour, where we dropped anchor and stayed the night.
FYI, the mosquitos AND the no-see-ums both found me quite delectable. Grrr.
On the plus side, the first beautiful sunset of the trip!
