Linderman Creek – Adding This Anchorage to Our “Favorites” List!

Linderman Creek Has Our Attention!

Linderman Creek is located in the northernmost islands of the Florida Keys. North of Key Largo Florida, not too far south of Boca Chita and Biscayne Bay. Card Sound is a grouping of smaller islands separating the Sound from the ocean. Linderman Creek is a very picturesque anchorage. Another chance to commune in silence with nature before we return to the big city activity of Miami and eventually our destination of Fort Lauderdale.

We were looking for a good, well-protected anchorage and had never anchored in this area before. What we found was an idyllic setting with winding channels surrounded by mangrove-covered islands. We couldn’t believe we were only 30 miles from Miami. After spending a month enjoying the laid-back lifestyle of the Keys, we found this stop a good way to readjust our attitudes before easing back into the reality of civilization.

At dusk one night, we lifted the drone to capture the amazing scenery from above. The person who mentioned Linderman Creek as a good anchorage said this is a good place to hole up when waiting to cross the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas. A good thing to know about our trip there next year. We plan to return to Linderman Creek again for a few nights’ stay!

As the day progressed the water calmed down to a glassy sheen. Fishermen cruised by and birds swooped by our boat to perch in the mangroves that surrounded Kismet.

This anchorage was too perfect not to send up the drone for an overall view of the area. Beautiful winding channels surrounded us. We will definitely stay here again.

The sunset was amazing and the moon rising above the mangroves was spectacular. I just happened to get out of bed later in the night to catch this amazing sight.

Goodnight Moon!
