I, for one, have enjoyed the bilingual aspect of this area.  At least 50 % of the people speak Spanish and we hear it all over and on the radio.

 

We also love the beautiful flowering trees:

 

 

Not everyone had to leave their cat at home.  this cat's name is Captain Jack Sparrow and had plans to go to the Bahama's with his family from Canada.  Lucky!

 

 

Here is Dan checking the anchor and the scope of the rode.  Always feels good to know that the anchor is set for the night!  We usually try to anchor in about six feet of water. 

 

And more beautiful sunsets and romantic serenades (and popcorn ;-) on our anniversary !

 

And finally, we inflated our dinghy (la lunita) and paddled around a little.

 

 

Earlier this week we went back to Crandon Park, in Key Biscayne, near Miami.  Nice Full Moon!

 

 We walked to Whiskey Joe's, an outdoor restaurant in the shadow of downtown Miami.  Dan enjoyed the mussels in cream sauce and a few beers since it was St. Patrick's Day.

 Whiskey Joe's is in the middle of a boat yard and we watched boats being lifted and hoisted up and down into their parking spaces.

 

Next pictures will include derigging and haul out of the boat ;-(  

This is our last weekend and Dan's last music gig is tonight!
