No Name Harbor in Key Biscayne


On our way back to Key West, we stop at Key Biscayne just south of Miami. This time around, we have time to walk to the lighthouse and explore the park. We only spend one night and then set sail straight for Key West, courtesy of an electrical mystery which causes our battery to fail to recharge normally despite wind generator, solar panels, and the efforts of the engine.



After an exhausting 20 hours, during which Rick had a smile pasted on his face and kept saying, "Hellava sail!", as I clutched the sides of the boat to keep from sliding off the seat, and we screamed down the Hawk Channel in the dark, close hauled, at 7.5 knots, we arrived at 8 am in Key West. Happy to be back!
