Day 226, March 24th, 2010
We left Boca Chita around 10:00 and headed up Biscayne Bay. It was my turn to helm and I knew this would be one of the last days to really sail for a long time. With the wind on the nose I really didn't care. The wind was steady around 15 knots and the water so beautiful - I was quite prepared to tack all day if needed! However, we only tacked twice and then the wind shifted 45 degrees which gave us a beam reach all the way up to Dinner Key. It was so good! A sail to remember. You can certainly understand why Biscayne Bay is so popular to boaters.
We arrived around 1:00 and picked up a mooring buoy at the Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove. We were starving hungry so after checking in we walked to the town centre of Coconut Grove and found a great hamburger joint. It looks like a pretty upscale area, lots of little boutiques. We enjoyed walking around and then found the Fresh Market, a really great grocery store.
