Even though a Bahamas crossing wasn't foreseen in the next three days, today Sarah took advantage of the one day of the week that the local CVS does rapid antigen testing putting to rest any doubts about the last antigen test result. With a second negative antigen test, we were feeling better and called for a FreeBee ride to the Crandon Tennis center run by the city to play some tennis. José picked us up in a large golf cart and told us that he used to work at the tennis center that once was the site of the Virginia Slims Tennis tournament. Suffice to say, the facilities were very good and we played tennis for an hour passing up the opportunity to rent the center court surrounded by stadium seating. We'll do that next time. On our way back, we found an pretty authentic Spanish restaurant called Kebo where we stopped for dinner before making a last call to the FreeBee to take us the 3 miles back to our dinghy. José picked us up again.
Key Biscayne is a miracle in conservation, but just barely. Though the middle third is classic Florida development where the Village of Key Biscayne is located, the northern third is mostly Crandon Park which includes the tennis center, a beach, golf course, marina and beach, while the southern third is the Bill Baggs State Park. Had it not been for foresight and determination the entire key would look like the Village of Key Biscayne. To their credit the village has many public facilities and lovely plantings around the main public thoroughfare.
