Life on Biscayne Bay is great. The first photo is the Sailing Club taken from the street side. The second are a couple of kids learning to sail at the Club. It's just such a great place. Regrettably, it is being threatened as a developer wants to tear it down and build a Cuban Restaurant. Sheesh. Of course I emailed the entire City Commission of Miami with a protest, but I doubt it will do any good. You never know though - I got an update regarding the North Carolina and Georgia stretches of the ICW. Those are the ones we had such trouble with as they have not been dredged for 2 years. Apparently funding was added in the last Federal spending bill, and the ICW should once again be possible for all boats with a 6-foot draw or less. People power!
We strolled to a great outdoor bar/restaurant last night called "Scotty's Landing". We had dolphin fish sandwiches and listened to a couple of guys playing live reggae. Inexpensive and great fun. Luckily, this establishment was running on Carribean Time when the bands play from 6 until 10pm and you can get to bed early. Our morning runs have become less horrible (we appear to be getting in shape again) and the parks are so beautiful. We also checked out the shops at the CocoWalk and happy hour at the Cafe TuTuTango. It's like a total vacation. Well almost - we also scrubbed the entire boat yesterday and took her for a pump out, but that's not really like work.
We are honestly thinking of everyone in the Great White North, but cannot say we'd like to be there with you. It is too incredible here, and a vacation from the vacation was certainly in order. The library will most likely be closed for the next few days, so if we don't get another chance to say it:
Peace, love, joy, and health to all of you in this holiday season and into the next year! Be well, be happy, you are in our thoughts.
