Approaching Miami
Coconut Grove and the Dinner Key Mooring Field
Another beautiful sunset
TIKA proudly cruised past some of the hottest real estate in the US as we made our way down through West Palm Beach to Miami. The ICW is lined with amazing real estate and yachts in Miami. We decided to anchor in the bay between South Beach and Star Island "home of the rich and famous". We were entertained by a beautiful Miami night city skyline which included the Intercontinental Hotel building which becomes a color jumbotron at night. The water was a little rocky due to the breadth of the bay, so we decided to move south to Coconut Grove and Dinner Key Marina......yes...we are officially in the Keys. Just to the east of us is Key Biscayne. Coconut Grove is supposed to be an example of the Florida of old, but we just saw high end boutiques and shopping. We did stop for lunch at "Johnny Rockets" for burgers and the best malts on the planet. When we cruise on the larger Royal Caribbean ships, they usually have a Johnny Rockets, so making this stop helped make our adventure and official "cruise". From here, its south through Biscayne Bay.
