Marc-  We spent another day here is the now warmer Key Biscayne (we can leave the hatches open at night).  I did some more work on the cockpit bench seat before our friends Carol and George came over.  We had some crackers, cheese and drinks on Coda before going out to the Lighthouse Cafe for lunch.  Carol and George came by bike and we joined them on ours.  Lunch was great.  We then joined Carol and George at the concert in town.  We had a really good time listening to a great Cuban band and enjoying the crowd singing and dancing along.

Friends Carol & George.

The AIS indicates only large ships are crossing the Gulf Stream these days.
(Green ships are cargo and red ships are oil tankers.)

Our current plan is still to leave at dawn on Wednesday with at least one other boat going to the Bahamas. That leaves 24 hours for the seas to calm down from northerly winds according to my Predictwind App.  There are several power cats in the harbor leaving either Tuesday or Wednesday morning.  Some of them go 14 knots.

Sunday was a busy day in No Name Harbor with many boats coming over for the day from Miami.  All of them left before dark.  It was a banner day for the restaurants out here.
