CODA : Still waiting for a weather window for Bimini, Bahamas (day 2).
25 January 2025
No Name Harbor, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne , Florida
The colors down here are fabulous once the sun comes out.
Marc- After our shipboard breakfast I started in on doing another boat project. This one made me very happy. I reassembled, glued and fastened the cockpit bench seat that I had made in pieces while home over the Holidays. There were only some minor adjustments to it. I then fit the seat and then moved on applying filler and paint.
Sue and I headed out for a walk into Town to mail some postcards, pick up a few items at CVS and then stop at Ace Hardware. It is great to have a hardware store right by the Park entrance. The Hardware store staff helped me find a suitable board and u-bolts to attach it to the port stanchions. The idea is to create something to attach the 5 gallons jugs we have for diesel, water and gas. The walk back to the harbor brought a new meaning to the nautical phrase "walk the plank."
After dinner we enjoyed a walk over to "The Cleat" bar and grill on the Western tip of the Harbor shore and then along the western shore to view the setting sun. We returned to the docks just as darkness came at 18:30.

Sue spotted this Green Heron just as we were tying up to the dinghy wall on the edge of the mangroves.
The village of Key Biscayne has one main commercial boulevard but many side streets with interesting traffic circles like this one.
The Cleat Bar and Grill, including live music, at the entrance to No Name Harbor.
Find the two "cleats" on the Bar boat.
Evidence that a hurricane came through here and decapitated this palm tree.
It appears to be trying to regenerate.
