We left our friends at Marathon's Boot Key Harbor, and motored east in 20 knot winds to Rodriguez Key.... We decided to anchor on the windward side of Rodriguez because we 'knew' the "holding" there was excellent, and the minimal protection on the south side didn't seem to make up for that big "h" on the chart... (meaning hard bottom)....
Anyway... holding was great, and the shear weight of Autumn Borne (20 tons), made the ride that first night fairly smooth.... a little up and down, but nothing like the waves in the Hawk, or ocean.
today we motor-sailed, just barely off the wind, to Angelfish Creek, then scooted through to Card Sound. Then the course was more northerly, and we sailed all the way to Miami in 14 to 24 knot winds.... Very nice sail.
As we suspected, No Name Harbor, on a Holiday Weekend was very busy... to the point of NUTs.... So we're anchored outside the harbor...
Tomorrow, we'll move up to the Venetian Causeway.... (near south beach).
Happy Easter to all.
