USA - Florida, Key Biscayne, No Name Harbor

So, we’re back at Meshugga, and Nicholas is shopping up a storm for maintenance and repair items. We’ve also hired a vehicle and are doing the huge stock up for 1 year of victuals, food, snacks, booze, drinks, propane, diesel. The lists are never ending.

So cool to see dolphins in No Name Harbor, it’s sporadic but most days there is a sighting.

Nicholas helped Stephen, a single handed, retrieve and rerun a halyard. Stephen was most kind in keeping an eye on Meshugga whilst we were in Batavia, Chicago.

I like Pelicans, and we’d often see them at Crandon Marina, where we anchored to receive our new additional Solar Panels.

Returning our trusty Hire Vehicle. It did the job well for all our victualing.

Shopping complete, we headed for Matteson Hammock Marina where Diesel was more than a dollar cheaper than Crandon marina. Seeing we were filling up with almost 300 G, it sounded like a good deal to us.

Whilst Nicholas attended to the Filling Up, I took an Uber to Uhaul, in Dixie Highway to get our Propane tanks filled.

As usual I had the run-around from the staff as our tanks are Viking Composite, and not the ‘normal’ household American steel BBQ tanks. On my insistence, the Manager was called, and reluctantly agreed to get out the Handbook and call American Gas to confirmation that they can fill our tanks.

I’d told him that I’d been to this same facility 4 times previously and every time it was the same saga. But at least I got my 3 x 22Lb tanks filled. Yay! 

Exceptional sunset tonight, almost not a breath of wind
