I think Diana is a little less happy with the situation. We survive and enter Miami harbour. We anchor across from the city skyline, which is quite pretty at night. Since the weather is still pretty bad, we plan on sailing down in the Bay of Biscayne to Key Largo. The bay is pretty shallow, so the important thing is to hit the main channel separating the lower from upper half.
Sailing is cool.
It is fun to switch the sails from side to side and it is a neat feeling to have the boat surge forward with a gust of wind. Mr. Lobdell also teaches me a little navigation, so I learn to plot a course and check position and stuff. I feel pretty cool placing my compass points and using the parallel rules. As we head for the channel, I have the binocs out and am checking for channel markers. I check it out - I can barely make him out, but it looks like he is waving.
