Here you go!
Next year you can take this out of
Fort Lauderdale to Bahamas to come
and visit us !
About a mile out off the shore of Miami
in about 50 feet of water you will find a lot of
cement from demolished building and roads
which creates artificial reefs for the local sea life
See the two bulldozers
One for each rock pile
Stiltsville, Florida
A collection of houses on pilings south of Key Biscayne/South
Beach Miami. People started building them in the 1930's
for fishing and partying, but the government has closed 'em all down.
Pretty interesting history at:

See the blue heron?

I didn't realize this was going to be our sunset
Glad I took it...it was the only sunset we had tonight !
Flat, calm, no wind, all day made for a splendid 79 mile run from Ft. Lauderdale to Key Largo. We left at 0800 hours after waiting for the rain to subside then out to the Atlantic Ocean. One foot chop was all we found. I started cleaning while Bob looked out from the helm. The 20 mile distance from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami was smooth enough that I could work below without feeling the least bit seasick. Last year we went into Miami then down the ICW towards Key Largo, but the seas were so calm that we continued to south of Key Biscayne where we met up with the ICW.
This path led us through Stiltsville where seven or so houses are still standing. There it was so flat that it seemed like they were on a lake in upstate New York, or something. And it was nice and calm all day. We ran just east along a squall line and only got hit once by rain for 10 minutes of so. The squall line did not contain any wind which made traveling splendid. Bob dodged his Captain's clothes as there was absolutely no one around for 25 miles of traveling and the sun peeked out from the storm clouds.
We dropped anchor in Key Largo in a 360 degree protected harbor (Tarpon Basin), had a quick Happy Hour, dinner, then bed.
