No Name to Marina del Mar, Key Largo

A cold day!!  You guys in the north are supposed to keep this stuff up north!!  We had an anxious night with winds blowing like crazy from the NORTH and were glad we had our new 60 lb Manson  for security!  We left No Name Harbor before nine and powered out the Key Biscayne channel heading for the Hawk Channel,  It was interesting passing the remnants of "Stiltsville".  I gather they took a beating in hurricane Andrew ('92) and haven't been the same since, they are under the protection of the Park Service now.  We rolled out the jib (sometimes furled and sometimes full 130%) and sailed all the way to Key Largo.  The wind was off the starboard quarter  so we stayed dry, but we certainly didn't stay warm.  We both had more on than we wore anytime on the way down from the NORTH!  We had to wait for high tide to enter the channel to get into Marina del Mar, luckily we didn't have to wait too long and Jay and Pegg were there to watch us come in.  So here we are tied up with all the amenities to play with for a week!  All we need is a little warmth!  ~~~(\_~~~D&M
