Had another great day on the water.
Did a about a straight 4hr run covering 60miles of South Florida waterways. See map route

Screen Shot 2020-11-27 at 7.19.14 PM.png

Started at Pelican Marina and headed North to the famous Haulover inlet. Hopefully be on video as they were taping boats going out.

First short video is me going out. Got to rough for camera person so she stopped filming.

Other video is crossing Govertment cut where cruise ships go out after head South from Haulover
Got a picture of cruise ships rescue boat coming into port.
The picture of the rock sea wall separates Govt cut with 1st street of South Beach.
That was where the Marlins pitcher years ago ran into at night.

I continued south pass Bill Braggs Lighthouse and to Stiltsville. Found this boater trying to cross shallows. Always follow the markers.
Then saw All these people in the shallows on a ski and tube. How did they All get there.....

Went north again through Key Biscayne to cruise ship port.
they let boats travel up/down when no cruise ships are docked.

That's were Ibwas cashing down the monster boat with 6 outboards. Crazy.

Went around Star/Palm island and hang spot called Moument island. You can see it in picture. its dedicated to Henery Flagler.

Headed up IC through some homes to sightsee and back to Haulover to watch sun set.

Then it was back to marina.

Great Day!

Looks like fun... You're on a 19ft? How bad was it getting out of Haulover?

Where did you stop for fuel?

Not bad at all. Had a few rollers I had to power over but nothing crazy
Still had 1/2 tank of fuel

Thanks
It was a long road to get here but worth it.

Got my Sea deck ordered along with Cobra Super Ultimates.
Cant wait to finally start improvements vs repairs

You gotta get a gimbal for your wife, or mount a GoPro to the windshield frame. She'll have a much easier time recording. Nice documenting of your trip
