We're tucked into the northeast corner of the anchorage but we still get a good view of Miami |
The winds certainly blew last night, in the 20 kt range at
times but we were secure in our protected anchorage with a 66 lb Spade anchor. We
have now circumscribed our anchor, it's in the middle of a circle on the
chartplotter, we've been on all sides of the anchor as the winds have shifted
from day to day.The anchor hasn't moved at all.
I used the paved trails that parallel the anchorage for
running in the morning. The park is in the process of being renovated which
includes removing non-native plants to be replaced by plants native to the
area. Unfortunately, there's no dinghy dock so you have to climb over rocks to
reach shore or else land on the beach. I prefer the rocks since you can usually
keep your feet dry (i.e., running shoes) but you have to be careful on the
slippery rocks.
There are two, four and eight person shells going all the time around the anchorage |
We observed a rather loud conversation between a boater that
was determined to pull a sled behind him, right through a flotilla of racing
shells! There were numerous signs out posting the area as a no wake zone but
that assumed the boater could read, obviously he could not. He was converged
upon by three boats shepherding the shells, explaining what the strange
markings (English...) meant. After 15
minutes of much hand waving, he eventually stopped circling the shells and
settled down to an idle. We figured his IQ was lower than his age...
