2/22/16 – 2/25/16        North Miami – Nettles Island

 

Firstly, I would like to apologize for the lateness of this posting. I had originally planned to include our stay in Fort Pierce, but we are still in Fort Pierce with a major problem. We are working on getting our fuel take repaired or replaced.

 

2/22/16 – 2/23/16        North Miami Beach

 

This trip was also up the Eastern Intracoastal. We traveled through Biscayne Bay which is a large body of water, and opens into the Atlantic.

These shots are as we approached Miami and Miami Beach, and entered the Port of Miami.

This is still Biscayne Bay and it is actually still quite wide in some sections. Here are some pictures of Miami.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are Miami Beach.

 

 

And these are of an island in the bay that people anchor and swim.

 

And finally our destination, Bill Bird Marina

Check out the sand bar outside the marina.

 

We made a trip by bike over to the actual beach. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/24/16                        Lantana

 

Lantana is actually an area on the inland side of the Intracoastal across from South Palm Beach. We were unable to get into a marina in Palm Beach. Again these marinas are all quite full since the weather has not been good for the trip over to the Bahamas.

 

On our way up we passed numerous beaches. Here are some pictures along the way.

This is Hollywood Beach

 

This is Fort Lauderdale. And the yachts are huge.

 

This is our destination, Loggerhead Marina in Lantana. We tied up, had dinner at their restaurant and called it a night.

 

 

Here is the famous “Mar-a-Lago” on Palm Beach. This was originally owned by       Marjorie Merriweather Post and is now owned by Donald Trump.

3/25/16                        Nettles Island

 

Nettles Island is actually an island attached to Jenson Beach. This was another 50+ mile trip, so we passed a lot of Florida Beaches. Here are some pics along the way:

Jupiter Inlet

 

Below is entering Nettles Island Marina, our destination for the night.

 

 

Again we tied up for the night and were out again the next day headed for Fort Pierce.

 

I will post our Fort Pierce stay next week. And by then should be able to let you know when to expect another posting. We could be here for a while longer.
