Though we only stopped at Marathon, Islamorada and Key Largo on our way out of the keys, it took us nine days to leave the keys and head north into the hustle and bustle of Miami and points north. Part of the reason is that we were in no particular hurry and for several days the wind was blowing 20-25 knots and it would have made for a rather rough trip.
Eventually the skyline of Miami appeared off our bow, along with all the increase in traffic one expects to find on the ICW on a weekend. Regardless of whether it is Miami, New York, or Chicago the thrill of seeing a skyline rise out of the water as you approach it from the deck of
ITHAKA will never lose its excitement.
One of the many, many bridges that we will confront on our way back up the ICW. Luckily, the great majority can be passed underneath without problems. Only in a few cases is it required to have the bridge open so ITHAKA can travel underneath.
Just one of the many high rise condominiums that line the ICW in downtown Miami.
.........and of course Miami would not be complete without your average Mega Yacht!
