Sailing with Bob and Melinda on SV Counting Stars! (Day 4)

Calm seas, but head-on winds

After a very refreshing night of sleep in an actual bed (not on various spots in the cockpit and saloon), we woke up early to another beautiful day! 

We did our morning checks of the engines, cleaned the raw water strainers and had breakfast. We pulled up the anchor, secured it and the bridle and started our trip up the outside of the Keys.  Our plan was to get to No Name Harbor, located at the very bottom of Biscayne Bay, just South of Miami.
This was one of our stops during our ASA sailing school and is a great anchorage. 

This day was pretty uneventful.  Even though the trip from Boot Key to Biscayne Bay requires a gradual turn to port for the entire trip, the wind magically made the same turn and we motored the entire way.
