North Miami, FL

We arrived in Miamia this afternoon after battling the Gulf Stream all night. Apparantly, it comes closer to shore than the charts indicate. So after truding along we decided to head into the Ft. Lauderdale inlet and trek down the ICW again. However, we had many bascule bridges to condend with so it was a slow go. We did make it to an anchorage north of the Goverment Cut into Miami. We will probably be able to see the New Year's Eve fireworks from here without all the craziness of the downtown anchorge. It is really beautiful in here and we hope to do some exploring in the morning. We may not even make it to midnight though since our overnighter last night took it's toll on us. We did have an awesome steak for dinner and we even treated ourselves to our favorite wine, Il Ducale Ruffino. Pictures and more to come later. Happy New Year to all!
