Miamarina, Miami - March 23 - Easter

Greg had a 6 a.m. flight this morning so we all got up at 3:40 a.m. The airport is only 4 miles from the marina so we had a taxi pick up Greg at 4:00. It was about 4:10 when he left. It was nice having Greg with us, even though it was only for a few days.

Yesterday we found that the First United Methodist Church of Miami was just across the street from the marina and was having a 7:00 a.m. sunrise service right in the Bayside Marketplace. We reset the alarm for 6:15 and got a little more sleep before getting up for good. It had rained off and on all night and stopped just in time for the service, but I think it kept many people away. There was a good sermon and a lot of music performed by “Lighthouse”, a group of young people. Nice, but not any of the traditional Easter songs you would expect.


Darrell made temporary repairs to the railing and we will have to decide where to have permanent repairs made. We are under a time limit of sorts because we are flying home from Charleston on April 11 for one week. They say the one thing you never want to do when cruising is to “have” to be somewhere at a certain time. We can see why.

It started raining again this afternoon. We are staying at this marina one more night and will probably leave early tomorrow morning.
