Log Book: January 7th-10th

Conditions: 60s and rainy

Location: Key Biscayne

It was an easy trip this morning from Marine Stadium to No Name Harbor. Dad and I went for a swim as soon as we arrived. The water was aqua, no other word for it. It was as if someone had put food coloring in the water, it was gorgeous. No Name happened to be a basin in a state park. When we anchored in the morning there were four other boats in the harbor, by sunset there were fifteen. The harbor was at its limits, clearly we all had the same idea to hang here to wait out the storm. Dad and I explored the park and found bike paths, hiking trails, and a lighthouse museum. The park also supported two restaurants and a public beach. The town of Key Biscayne was only a short bike ride away. It seemed that the harbor was in the perfect spot. Except it rained, and rained, and rained. Dad and I saw more rain in Key Biscayne than we saw the entire trip. No exaggeration. Dad and I tried to keep busy. We went to the library, went for bike rides in the rain, went up the lighthouse, visited a nature conservatory, and for the last day of our stay biked the ten miles to and from Miami. After three days at Key Biscayne we were finally ready to make the sail for Key Largo.
