Leaving Miami Behind!

We departed Fort Lauderdale today to cruise through Miami to our end destination, Hurricane Harbor, an anchorage Jim found off Key Biscayne Island. So, we left a multitude of cruise ships in our wake in the wide expanse of Port Everglades before we entered the narrower part of the ICW heading to Miami. It’s an exciting area to cruise through with the beautiful homes lining the waterway, yachts of every shape and size, and finally the towering buildings of Miami. If you happen to be cruising by at sunset, even better. We left Miami behind us as we entered Biscayne Bay.

Bridge after bridge lines the ICW in the Miami area. Luckily, Kismet fits under most of them.

As you can imagine the waterways around Miami are full of boats of all shapes, sizes, and kinds. The water is constantly roughed up by all the boating activity. It’s really exciting to cruise through this area and see the variety of vessels to gawk at along with the stunning Miami skyline. We left it all behind us as we headed out into Biscayne Bay.

The sun was starting a quickening descent as we headed out into Biscayne Bay. The water was just starting to lay down and a salty mist hung around us in the air, adding to the magnificent sunset. It’s amazing how long the skyline of Miami remained in sight as we got farther and farther away from it. Looking forward, we could see an open expanse of water in front of us and many, many boats passing us by as they return to the big city after a day well spent relaxing on the water. Hurricane Harbor is our designated anchorage for the night, we have never been there before, and can’t wait to see what it’s like.
