Stiltsville


Miami's skyline

We have sailed back north (wrong direction) to No Name Harbour, which is just south of Miami. Here, we wait for our weather window to cross the Gulf Stream, over to the Bahamas. The northerlies are coming fast and furious, and the weather windows lately have been narrow ….. so it’s anyone’s guess as to how long we’ll be waiting.

Jorge & Kim are not here yet, and we hope they’ll arrive soon, so when the opportunity arises, we may be able to cross together.

Just outside of No Name Harbour, there are a collection of houses built on stilts, on the sandbanks of Biscayne Bay. This area is known as Stiltsville. It’s very curious. No cars in the driveway of these homes!
