We know we will have to be in Miami for a while but the weather let us go back down Biscayne Bay for a night at a new anchorage, Sand Key. It's just a short distance from Elliott Key but a little more protected from the south winds that were forecast and we wanted to check out a hurricane hole that the cruising guides talk about. Well, the anchorage will be one of our favorites in the future. Very picturesque, good swimming and the holding is in sand. The hurricane hole will not be an option though. The cut into the 4-5 acre bay was only 30 feet wide, cut through solid coral so the sides were mean looking (note GH needs 24' so that would only leave 3 feet on each side) and once we got Nu-It inside the bay was all silted in with less than a foot of water. We couldn't even motor the dink in there.....
But we did get another beauty sunset!!
