Comment: Eighteen! Anna Marie called us through eighteen bridges today. Many caused us no delay at all, but there were three of four that caused 25 minute waits. That negatively affected our average speed. Still, we made 42 miles in a little over nine hours. We are about 10 miles north of Miami Tomorrow, we’ll finish the bridge portion of the trip with five required openings.

We’re hoping for sailing weather tomorrow. IF we get it, we sail Biscayne Bay all the way to Key Largo.
