There were many high-fives, and

a fair amount of rum was poured. We played Jimmy Buffett's "Christmas in the Caribbean." We made it through the last of the timed bridges and out the south end of this part of the ICW. We're anchored at Key Biscayne with the Miami skyline in the background. Tomorrow we will cross to the Bahamas, a 24-hour passage and the first night sailing of our trip.
Our internet connections will be rare from here out, we'll be relying on internet cafes. I don't know how often I'll get to posting, but I promise I'll be saving up the good stories for when I can post. 'Till then, stay warm and have a great holiday season!
