Blog Entry 0029 Sailing Seniors Adventure Day 197
Subject: Port Miami.
Subject: Port Miami.
We have had such an enjoyable trip! So very different from the last time we
ventured out to the ocean!
As we approached the Government Cut of Port Miami, (http://www.miamidade.gov/portmiami/), I contacted
the US Coast Guard to find out if we could use the Main Channel. If two or more Cruise Ships are in port, the
Main channel is closed. Therefore you
have to take the channel to the south called Dodge Channel. Well
the Main Channel was closed so we turned south as we cleared the cut. This was fine with me because we would have
had to go through 2 bridges and I have had enough of bridges! Since all
the traffic was being diverted to the Dodge Channel it was a madhouse!!! So we slowly wove our way around the ferries,
barges, tankers, container ships, cabin cruisers, sailboats, tour boats
(including a Pirate Boat),
sailboats and jet skiers zigzagging through the
channel! As we headed to the east shore to pick up the
ICW and head south to Coconut Grove, I took these pictures.
There 7 cruise ships in port that day!
Sea you later! Coconut Grove.
