Coral Gables 4/2/2015

We took the dingy into the canals at Coral Gables, the homes there were unbelieveable and they had their own boat slips.  You have to pay attention to the names of the boats too, which some of them I found very funny.

Ross and Gigi driving the dingy into the canals of Coral Gables.

 
These are some of the boats here in Dinner Key Marina as we are leaving

 Knot a Klue how funny

Pelican on the marker. Gigi had to bark at it of course.

Here are are arriving in the canals and these houses are huge

They are having a small sailboat race. I love all the colorful sails.

This is either a hotel or some apartments.

Look at this gorgeous house.

This guy had a Buda prayer temple of some sort.

Here is the Coco Plum Yacht house, it was smaller in comparison to the homes.

The beautiful landscaping with bogavillia bushes and trees are unbelieveable.

Here is a small bridge we went under to explore.

The mangrove trees are crazy looking with their roots going down and coming back up into the trees themselves.

Can you see the green aguana?

Heading back to the boat. We had a picnic lunch.

 The boats had some funny names, I took some pictures of a few.

 Had a long day site seeing taking a nap on the way home.

Dinner Key Marina 4/1/2015

April Fools Day to everyone what a beautiful morning to start on new adventure here at Coconut  Grove here in Dinner Key Marina. We are enjoying the cool morning with our coffee and looking at the activities around us, some boats are leaving today for the Bahamas.

Good morning everyone, here is Ross business as usual here on Cool Change getting some things done, we need to go on shore, get some groceries, eat breakfast.

Every morning at 9 am they have what they call the Cruisers Net where they give info on activities throughout the day or week, you can sell things, weather report and just general information, they are having a jazz night tonight and Saturday they are having a potluck where everyone brings a dish over here at the park, that should be fun will have to go, this is where you meet all kinds of boaters and get together. We will be going for sure.

Gigi is already eating her breakfast this morning. She knows the routine. She is such a good smart dog

Here is a view of Miami and our neighbor. It is kind of foggy in the distance today, but the winds are from the north around 5 mph just perfect.

 This is a view of Coconut Grove,

 Hello having my cup of coffee, this is one of my favorite parts of the day. Love it.

Coconut Grove, FL Dinner Key Marina 3/31/2015

We have arrived in Coconut Grove, FL at Dinner Key Marina, where Cool Change is moored.  What a beautiful day here around  high 70's.  

Here is Gigi at the airport in her carry on bag.  She is ready to go. She loves her head sticking out so she knows what is going on.  When we land she starts to whine because she knows we have arrived.
