3:00 AM Wake Up Call. Time to Move On to Key Biscayne - Monday Feb. 21st

 
We couldn't believe it. This morning, at 3:00 am, someone was blaring Latin pop music at such a volume it woke us and others up. We listened to it for 20 minutes or so hoping it would stop but it wasn't until another cruiser blared his boat horn that it finally stopped and we all could get back to sleep. We finally got our blog posted today while we had some internet and perhaps because of our bad experience last night, we decided to move about 6 miles south to Key Biscayne. We motored out the channel where about five cruise ships were on anchor and out of the harbor, unfurled just the jib, and sailed out and around to the southern end of Key Biscayne, dropping an anchor off of Bill Braggs State Park/No Name Harbor. This location was much more popular with transient boaters than Miami Beach as we found ourselves in the company of about 25-30 other boats, looking out across Biscayne Bay and to Stiltsville (the remains of several homes built on stilts over the ocean). We went ashore around 4 pm tieing up the dinghy at the Boater's Grille Restaurant and got the low down on the free shuttle service (FreeBee) that transports visitors around Key Biscayne for free.
