Coconut Grove, South Beach, and Ft. Lauderdale

We made the 6 hour trip up from Key Largo to just south of Miami stopping at Coconut Grove on Biscayne Bay. After securing a mooring ball at Dinner Key Marina, we made our way to Johnny Rockets in Coconut Grove for the worlds best chocolate malt and some great burgers. The next morning we made our way though Miami heading out to South Beach to anchor and meet our new friends Mike and Polli who had arrived the day before.  We ate lunch at an Argentine Bistro walked the amazing streets of South Beach to the Ocean and returned to TIKA for an early evening.  The night started out peaceful, but west winds and rain kicked up by morning leaving our anchoring spot exposed to wind and waves, so we pulled our anchor up just before 8:00AM and headed for Lake Sylvia in the heart of Ft. Lauderdale.  Marlene suddenly came down with the flu so we made it an easy, early day anchoring in Lake Sylvia around noon.
