Why are we at a marina? You might ask
Well, today we are going sailing
We're on a boat
We are joining our friends Raul and Dany
and we're going to explore the body of water just southeast of Miami
Biscayne Bay
We are taking off from the Matheson Hammock Park Marina
and it is a little bit windy and choppy but I think we'll be OK
It is a beautiful day other wise, and check out downtown behind the palm trees
Yeah, a little choppy
Hello everybody, today we are on a boat
Out first stop is going to be Stiltsville
Stiltsville nowadays is this sort of on the water ghost town
On the northern border of Biscayne National Park, just south of Key Biscayne
and it is pretty cool. Actually it started during the 1920 and 1930
There used to be gambling outhere because it was legal a mile offshore
and from the 1960's through the 80's it was very much a party scene out here
In 1992 hurricane Andrew was the last nail on the coffin of what used to be Stiltsville
and nowadays only seven structures remain, unfortunately most of them in ruins
At the southern tip of Key Biscayne that's Cape Florida lighthouse, known to the locals as "El Farito"
Fly pelican!
We continue navigating on the Biscayne Channel now going towards the largest of the remaining seven structures
And this is it. This is the house that used to be the Miami Springs Power Boat Club back in the late 50's
This one doesn't seem as abandoned as the rest of the structures, and apparently you can even rent it
We stop here to take a dip in the water
and I even put on my new snorkeling gear
but the fun didn't last long as the anchor didn't grab and the boat started drifting
We continue navigating, now onto the gulf stream.
and it is really choppy out here
Let's go back to port, and there's once again the Cape Florida lighthouse
We should visit it some time
When we return we'll swim at the famous Nixon Beach Sandbar, we'll fly the drone again and then dinner

And this is where we're going, Nixon Beach Sandbar
Apparently one of the most popular spots to hang out and party, right by the mouth of Hurricane Harbor
and I hear it get pretty wild out here sometimes.
This was the site of a very sad accident back in 2014, where a man was killed by a boat's propeller
The boat belonging to radio celebrity DJ Laz
So, people, be careful out there. Drink resposibly
Onto a lighter note, we are trying to find a spot in the nice sandy area
The water is not very clear, but the sand is fine, soft, and clean, very nice.
And why not? Let's pop the drone in the air.
It is such a beautiful day here in beautiful Key Biscayne
Well, that was a lot of fun but it is time to go
But before we go we're going to cruise around Hurricane Harbor, and see all the lavish homes of the rich and famous
It looks like a big party in that boat, several boats.
Our next and last stop is the No Name Harbor, and here we are. Lets parallel park, or however it is called in maritime terms
And here we are, Boater's Grill
We begin with their signature sangria, some minuscule conch fritters, and the paella
the paella looks and smells fantastic, and it tastes equally good
We ordered a paella for 3, and it is plenty for the 4 of us.
Cuban coffee, you gotta have it after that.
Well, that paella was spectacular, if I may say so myself
Right here at El Farito. What's the name of the restaurant?
OK, so it's a the No Name Harbor, right here, and it's called Boater's Grill, I've been informed
All good things come to an end
and our fabulous day on the water is nearly over
I hope you enjoyed it
...and back at the marina we are
