After a year of maintenance and upgrades it's time to let Moonstruck stretch her legs a little. We are planning on being to the boat by Wednesday, and be away headed for Biscayne Bay by the weekend. It is approximately 120 nm from Ft. Pierce Inlet to Government Cut at Miami Beach. If the weather cooperates it will be about a 5 hour offshore run. If not, it will be a bridge slugfest running inside. In that case a long day.
Provided there is room Belle Isle south will be our first anchorage. There is a dinghy dock, park, and dog playground. It is walking distance to Lincoln Road and even Ocean Drive. Next could be Marine Stadium or No Name Harbor. Then maybe Dinner Key at Coconut Grove. We want to spend 2 or 3 nights at Elliot Key.
On the way home we may pick up a mooring at the Los Olas field, or try the municipal docks on the New River. We will build it some flex in the trip. We definitely don't want to be near Elliot Key on the weekend.
I will try to post some pictures showing some wonderful cruising without going to foreign ports. Biscayne Bay is a jewel. I may even start a new blog page for the trip. Temperatures this time of year are usually perfect for sleeping.
This should give the new Sarca Excel a good workout. So, a report on that should be forth coming. I'm getting excited already.
