3748 We arrived at Miami Beach Thursday afternoon, after transiting another bunch of bridges, although not as numerous as the section north of Ft. Lauderdale! We anchored on the Miami Beach side, just north of Belle Island on the east end of the Venetian Causeway. A nice location, an easy run to a public dock […]
