We arrived back in Miami Beach the next day and Ron guided us to a new anchorage near the Miami Yacht Club in the lee of Belle Island(previously we stayed at Coconut Grove - another great part of Miami). On the way in I spied Breathless, a 39 Beneteau owned by Rick & Doreen Itensen who had provided me some sage advice via email & phone before our trip began. While in this harbour we also met 2 other Canadian sailing couples - more Canadian sailor friends we expect to see in the Exumas.
This anchorage is perfectly located and has a dingy dock where you can get rid of garbage and access the City. Shopping is close by for groceries, liquor, laundry, restaurants etc. and convenient access to South Beach Miami via a 25 cent bus. The sunset and night view of the City from the harbour is spectacular - we will come back here. We stayed a couple of days here and determined the right weather window for us to cross the Gulf stream was approaching so we prepared and planned to leave in the morning.
