There weren't very many bridges left until we hit Biscayne Bay and the thunderstorms were still around the area. Somehow we managed to get all of the way south of Miami and at that point the storms just seemed to fall apart.
We were happy about that :-)
Our destination was the island of Boca Chita Key in the Biscayne National Park.

For info about Stiltsville, click here. Quite a weird place to live!!!
It was very much like being in Canada on the Trent except for the large palm trees all over the place :-)
It was pleasant reading under the shade at the picnic table near the boat.After a warm but pleasant night, Steve had his umbrella out and was making tea and hot chocolate in the morning.
Breakfast was on board though. It's just way easier :-)
The lighthouse was not open sadly but we were able to go up it last time we were here (quite a number of years ago).
We headed out shortly after breakfast. The east winds were blowing and would be blowing every day even stronger - time to head to Marathon!!
It was going to be another perfect travel day - and no storm in the weather prediction!!
It was still 80 some miles to Banana Bay so we decided to travel a short 40 miles to Upper Buttonwood Sound to an anchorage that would protect us from the SE winds which were blowing all night.
It took trying two spots but we were happy with the second one. By morning the wind had died down to nothing!

Finally about 2:15 pm we were approaching the entrance to Banana Bay. Back where we started from a short 7 weeks ago :-)
The trip over the past three days.
Now it's time to put the boat away and move north!
