We spent the night at Crandon's Marina, a Dade County Municipal Marina, located at the north end of Key Biscayne. It had new floating docks but was in the middle of nowhere. We ended up staying on board and having a pleasant relaxing evening.

Key Largo to Key Biscayne
(Thursday Feb. 17 - Dist: 44.6 mi; Avg Speed: 13.7 mph; TTT: 4:00 hrs.)
Biscayne Bay is a rather large body of water so we were able to go up on plane and make some good time. In one part of the Bay well out from shore there are a number of houses on stilts. I cannot see living there but evidently people do. Our travelling partners on Finally said that the number of houses is drastically reduced from what was there 5 years ago. I am sure that the weather, especially a storm or two, took care of the other places.

We had planned on staying at the South Beach Marina in Miami for 3 nights at $2.00 per foot BUT....the Miami International Boat Show was on and the dockage rates were increased dramatically to $8.00 per foot with a 50 foot minimum length charge and a minimum stay of 5 nights. $400 per night - no way. Thus Crandon's in the middle of nowhere.
