As I indicated in my last update we were in Key Largo. This is the last set of keys we went through before entering Biscayne Bay, which is just south of Miami.

While in Biscayne Bay, heading toward Miami the Atlantic Ocean is off to our right and there are stick houses built in the Atlantic. There was a large community at one time but most of them have fallen down. I don't think it is legal to build new ones. The above picture and the below one is of the stick houses and their attachments.

This is the big city, Miami.....

There are some really large boats docked in Miami. Check out the helicopter on the back of this one.

I'm tied up at a marina in North Miami. It is the Keystone Marina and primarily services boats that stay in dry stacks. My brother, Ed, lives 3 condos from where I'm docked. Walking distance. Buzz and Alex left Friday. Ed took them to catch their connections home. I'm staying here until Wednesday. Today is Sunday and Ed is working. I've just been lazy, read, rode my bike down Biscayne Blvd. Found a grocery store, Mac Donald's, Flanagan's ( a great restaurant) and West Marine. What more could I need. Ed is off Monday and Tuesday. We are going to take the dinghy and explore all the canals around his condo. It will be mid week before I post again.

Later,

Carl
