Winds a little less but still gusting to 20 - 25. Stayed in Hawks Channel for most of the way to Miami but did run outside in 6' seas for a couple of hours. Didn't cut into Biscayne Bay until Biscayne channel just south of Cape Florida. Stayed to night at Rickenbacker Marina (gas 3.24/gal - happy we burn diesel). This is big marina but just adequate facilities.

Beautiful Miami night skyline and colorful boat traffic. Ate dinner on Brightwater this evening as it long walks to nearest restaurants. Not staying long enough to visit Joe's Crab, downtown Miami, south beach, or any golf courses. The city's name aa well as the river, is an anglicization of the Indian Mayami, meaning "sweet water". In fact Fort Dallas was commanded by William Tecumseh Sherman of civil war fame. Now a days Miami is called by many "the new capital of Latin America".
