When we got up this morning, we were surprised to find a copy of the Miami Herald on our deck. We thought someone had made a mistake, but later we found out this marina delivers the paper to each boat every morning.
This is a really nice place. It costs $1 a foot, which is high by California standards, but it sure beats that outrageous $2.15 a foot at Key West. It's a prettier place, too. We're in South Miami Beach, we have a lovely view, and the showers are the best since we left San Diego. There's no water shortage here; you can shower as long as you like. There's plenty of hot water, and it's easy to adjust to whatever temperature you want. There's a large dressing room for each shower, with a bench and plenty of hooks. Boy, did it feel good to wash off all the salt and grode and sweat!
Roy wanted to move the boat to a less expensive marina, so I phoned every marina in the area. All the rest either didn't have openings or were higher, so we're lucky to be here.
We're only half a block from the city buses, so we rode around and saw some of the town. Really nice. This is like a modern-day Venice. There are so many canals and channels and other bodies of water with lovely homes alongside them.
We ate lunch at a halfway decent restaurant, bought some cough syrup and a bunch of groceries, and returned to the boat.
