Jewfish Creek

Beautiful sail through Biscayne Bay, Barnes Sound, and Card Sound to Jewfish Creek today. The wind was perfect, the seas were perfect, and, except for a bit of a chill in the air, the weather was perfect. It was good to be moving again after 4 days on the mooring ball. And it was good to be away from the craziness of the BIG city, hanging on the hook again. I guess I am not a city person. The traffic, crowds, and parking difficulty were driving me crazy.

Who is the guy with the shell?


The Tiki Bar at Gilberts
Gilbert's Marina off our bow has a band playing which we can hear as if they were right next to us. There are multiple dolphins playing/feeding in the channel along which we are anchored. The wind is being modified by the key in front of us so the water is calm. It doesn't get much better than this.

Tomorrow we are taking advantage of our last day with a car to drive over to John Pennekamp State Park to see what the shore side area is like. We snorkeled the reef offshore a number of years ago but have never been on the land park.  Promises to be interesting.
