I’ve often said, but it’s worth repeating, recommendations by fellow cruisers of good service personnel, are worth their weight in GOLD. Here is a good one for the greater Miami region.

Early on we crossed paths with Ivy and Bob Neubauer on Karma. They are just about done and on the last leg to crossing their wake in Cocoanut Grove, Miami, FL. Very nice and friendly people. Bob has come to our assistance a number of times with mechanical issues that were scary puzzlements to we rusty boaters and novice loopers. Bob is an expert boat mechanic with a very wide range of talents – engine,
transmission, electrical, electronic, water, leaks, unidentifiable things, etc. Also, he is neat and leaves behind a clean boat. He runs a marine service and salvage company in Miami called Odd Job Marine (305 331 1670).
One of his specialties is refitting large boats but he works for we small boat types also. We recommend him highly and will be getting a list of work done by him in Miami when we get there in a couple of weeks or whenever – depending on the weather.

Just south of Dumbfoundling Bay in N. Miami Beach, a hard-to-follow channel cuts west to Maule Lake. There used to be a marina and restaurant here, but that complex has fallen to condo blight. Has anyone
tried to anchor here recently? Were you hassled by the local water cops or by the owner of the property? The warning below from Chris has been posted on other sites and, in light of the on-going discussion re anchoring, it will be interesting to see if the owner can indeed restrict anchoring in these navigable waters.

March 2, 2013
I am the Trustee for our family trust which owns Maile [sic] Lake. As of 2012 I have been working with law enforcement to stop anchoring in our lake. As it stands now, all vessels anchoring in the lake will be trespassing and will be at risk of violation. We did not want to take this step but because of EPA and various other Governing bodies with their own regulations we had no choice. Thank you for understanding.
R G Williams

Something in Florida called the public trust doctrine holds that all waters within the state that are navigable, whether public or private, are to be kept available to all for the purposes of navigation. And, anchoring is considered a normal part of navigation. Of course the local sheriff won’t know this and will instead do whatever the locals want and chase you out, but I believe somebody could take this to court and win.
John Kettlewell

Maule Lake is actually a private lake. Anchorage is not allowed in the lake. The owners are actively removing derelict vessels in the lake as well as noticing floating vessels of trespass. DO NOT ANCHOR IN THE LAKE.
Chris Williams

Other opinions:

i just spent 4 nights anchored in maule lake in may, 2 nights on the way down to the keys and 2 on the way back. i live in ft laud and have to raise and lower my mast because i live past fixed bridges and maule lake is a calm place to do so. i saw law enforcement 1 time and they went right by me. there are about 8 sailboats anchored with nobody living on them and 1 power boat with someone living on it. the marina looks condemed. if maule lake is private then tell whoever owns it to show you their tax bill. it is a navigable waterway with greynolds park on one side, a public county park.
Skipper Dave C

It’s always fun to see people who don’t know anything about admiralty law and property law, who think when they purchase land, they have purchased the adjoining navigable waterway. It’s one thing to request the state to move derelict boats from an area. Anybody can do that, whether they own any land around the area or not. That’s not a problem, and should be done.
But, I hope they get some better legal advice, before they have the wrong person arrested for anchoring their boat there as allowed by U.S. laws and regulations. Although, this one would be a great example to other like minded condo developers, and so it might be a good thing if they did.
Rick Holman

We anchored in Maule lake in November 2012, for 3 or 4 days. No one bothered us and we had 3 other cruising boats anchored nearby. There is also 8 or 10 boats permanently anchored the area.
During our stay, the Coast Guard entered the lake with a small, abandoned sailboat in tow. they towed it to the center of the lake and dropped its anchor and left. There was also a law enforcement boat that cruised through the lake, but did not check any boats.
Roger Hayes

We anchored in Maule Lake twice, 4 days in all and never had an issue. Most recently was last August. I am not sure the post regarding it being a private lake is entirely accurate. Maybe something has changed recently but we had no issues whatsoever when we anchored there for a total of 4 nights and there are people living on their boats anchored there so a little more investigation is probably in order before declaring Maule Lake a no anchoring location.
Nicole

We’ve anchored in Maule Lake, on occasion, for over 20 years. Most recently, two months ago. We’ll use it again in the future.

Here is a another fellow boater looking for local knowledge and suggestions. His journey will encompass navigating the waters of Southwestern Florida past Naples, then Marco Island, then past the Ten Thousand Island region, and finally past Cape Sable, eventually ending up in the Florida Keys. At this point, a northward turn via the FLK Inside Route, will take him to his goal on the Eastern Florida shoreline in Biscayne Bay.
As of 2/25/13, Captain Kris has received some excellent advice from Captains Donovan and Bell below

Hello,
I’m planning or rather need to go from Fort Myers to Black Point marina in Homestead [south of Miami on the mainland shores of Biscayne Bay - editor]. Was reading the postings and looking at the chart and have a few questions regarding the posts.
The comment “winter waves” – should I expect high seas in February? I generally like deep water so was planning to stay somewhat deep but I saw some posts that said charts are wrong.
Cape Sable shoals – is this difficult to navigate?
Boat. 34ft sail, 4.0 draft, 52’8 must height. 27 horse diesel.
Experience moderate. Looks like I enter the channel just south of east cape. couple questions:
1. What stops do you recommend?
2. Does the inter-coastal run cleanly all the way up from the inside or do I need to go outside?
3. Heading towards Marathon looks interesting because the water is deeper.
I appreciate any advice.
Kris

You will need to go outside at least until Gordon Pass at Naples where you can anchor in Port Royal or go downtown for a mooring or dockage. From there, inside to Marco is doable with the right tide as is inside to coon Key, but it is tricky in spots, so outside is easier. You can anchor in Factory Bay or Smokehouse Bay or dock in Marco. Cape Sable Shoals are not to be taken lightly so, if you go outside, you need to go pretty far south before turning Eastward (you can “jump the light ‘). There are other anchorages before Little Shark, but I haven’t used them and they would depend on the strength and direction of the winds. Anything at or above 20 from any other direction than North will be uncomfortable and we get lots of fronts this time of year.. From Little Shark it’s a straight run down to Marathon. Of course, you could do an “allnighter” directly from Ft. Myers.
Donovan

You can anchor a mile inside Gordens Pass, then at Factory Bay in Marco. You can safely cut cape Ramano at the lime stone channels and anchor in calm water up the left hand fork heading towards Everglades City then a easy run to Boot Key Harbor. Email me if you want route, anchorage way point and draft information. We have a five foot draft 41 Hunter that has been on this route at least eight times. Email info is patriotus@comcast.net for info from 41 Hunter.

Always good to get reports of “no grounding” since we post so often of shoaling on the AICW.

Cruising News:
Miami to Plantation Key
Happy to report that from Miami to Plantation Key in Islamorada via Biscayne Bay, Card, Little Card, Barnes and Blackwater Sounds was no problem with a sailboat drafting 4’10″. Sticking to the ICW Magenta line and even at low tide, there was no grounding.

Marine Stadium Anchorage - Click for Chartview

Marine Stadium Anchorage cuts east of the AICW, immediately north of the Rickenbacker Causeway Bridge.

We stayed here for 3 days and thoroughly enjoyed the anchorage. The view from our stern looking out to all the beautiful buildings was spectacular at night. There was always something going on during the day such as scow training, seaplanes taking off and crewing. We ate at the Rusty Pelican a week later when we were staying somewhere else and the food and service was great. I wish they had their own dingy dock though as the marina did not allow us to bring our dingy in.

Royal Park Bridge - Click for Chartview

As we have seen at other bridges, sometimes heavy roadway traffic due to construction, school buses, emergency, etc. will alter a posted opening schedule at the discretion of the bridge tender, especially during rush hours.

Not always true [opening schedule of hour and half-hour, 24/7]. As three sailboats and a trawler SB passed through Flagler Memorial bridge, bridge tender informed us she was not opening at 8:30am due to heavy traffic. So sometimes it doesn’t matter what the schedules are.

Miamarina lies in the heart of downtown Miami, and right in the middle of a shopping complex. Honestly, we don’t even list this facility on the SSECN’s “Eastern Florida Marina Directory” as, several years ago, my experience was that transients were a very low priority here, and the crowds milling around the docks were, to say the least, disconcerting.
However, after reading the accounts below, copied from the AGLCA Forum, I think this facility deserves another visit on our part. HAS ANYONE STAYED AT MIAMARINA WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. If so, PLEASE, follow the “Click Here to Submit Cruising News” link, found on the upper right of this, and all (except Chart View) SSECN pages, and share your experience.
Many thanks in advance!

We’re currently enjoying our stay at Boot Key Harbor City Marina, and are contemplating going to Miamarina at Bayside. I’ve been told that it’s a great place to visit with all the shops and live music, but it’s also impossible to get to sleep with all the mayhem and music going on. Does anyone have any feedback/advice please?
Boot key’s facilities are excellent in case anyone’s wondering, although getting your clothes washed is almost a 6-7 hr. affair at the least, with the waits for open machines. Any quick thoughts are welcome.
Dave Carter

I personally love Miamarina at Bayside in downtown Miami although it is not for everyone. After the remoteness of the Florida Keys it is quite a shock to the senses to be thrust into a major metropolitan area. I like to sit in our cockpit with a beverage and absorb the live music. I never have trouble sleeping. The marina surrounded by restaurants and shops is adjacent to Hard Rock Cafe. A boat tour of the homes of the rich and famous that leaves from the marina every thirty minutes is worth a trip.

My wife and I stayed at Miamarina a few years ago and had a very nice stay. I would not hesitate to go back. You can walk a few blocks to the tram stop jump on and ride for free all over Miami. Our sleep was never disturbed by
noise.
Randy Stacy

We stay there at this moment (from Jan. 11th to Jan 20th). The marina people are nice and friendly, only the old guy who tried to help us getting in a slip did not speak any english at all. He stood on the dock and did not know what to do. The sanitary area is old, dirty and damaged, absolutely not to recommend!! The noise level is not as bad as expected. The big advantage and this is the only reason we stay there is the direct access to downtown. The internet connection is very poor and our Verizon Mifi is blocked by some heavy interference. Good to know a Starbucks is on the premisses.
In total – the marina is lousy and expensive but the location is good.

First view of the anchorage as you clear the canal entry

Sunset Lake Anchorage lies well east of the north – south track of the AICW, as it passes through Biscayne Bay. Leave the AICW south of marker #49, and north of the Venetian Causeway bridge. Once into the lake, be sure NOT to anchor abeam of a large, yellow house which you will spy along the eastern banks, immediately south of a vacant lot. The property owner does not like vessels anchored in front of his property and is known for playing loud music and shining bright lights out over the water, to discourage cruisers.
The excellent article below, authored by our strategic partners, Captains Mark and Diana Doyle, founders and owners of On The Water ChartGuides (http://www.onthewaterchartguides.com/), is largely taken from this dynamic duo’s very soon to be released, two volume paper AICW Anchorage Guide series.

Hi Claiborne,
Did you ever imagine you could visit trendy Miami Beach from the Intracoastal Waterway?
It’s actually a very boater-accessible destination, with several nearby anchorages among Miami’s Harbor Islands.
A particularly low-stress anchorage is Sunset Lake, located in a surprisingly spacious basin along the western side of Miami Beach. You’ll be overlooking multimillion-dollar homes, forming a floating community with a handful of other long-distance yachts, many from European ports-of-call.
But before you plunk the ground tackle, look for a vacant lot along the eastern shore. Find that? Now note the home just south of the vacant lot. Do NOT anchor in front of that home. This notorious homeowner has hassled boats anchored in front of his property — resorting to such shenanigans as spot lights, booming rap music, waking them with a speedboat, or (his latest) filling the area in front of his home with small moored boats. Life is too short. There’s plenty of room to anchor out of his gunsights, to the north or south …

Beware the loose screw. Photo by Peter Swanson

Of course the best part about Sunset Lake anchorage is the access to Miami Beach’s South Beach or SoBe district, with blocks of fashionable stores and restaurants. It’s one mile to the Miami Beach dinghy dock, with free tie-up and free fresh water, conveniently located next to the Miami Marine Police dock.
For super-convenient supermarket access, there is a dinghy tie-up at a rough wall up charted Collins Canal, past a small bridge with a locking cable on the north side of the canal, across the street from a Publix supermarket.
Best and see you On the Water,

Unfortunately, Major Daugherty of the FWC does not have the courage of his convictions. He told me last spring that Karlton’s little dinghy field was not legal and that they would be ticketing him – anchor light issues.
Since that statement, Daugherty has not taken my calls, nor done anything about the situation apparently.
Florida – politics as usual.

Looking northwest over the Miami skyline

The so-called Marina Stadium Anchorage is actually a large cove indenting the northwestern banks of Virgina Key, lying opposite the city of Miami on the eastern flank of Biscayne Bay. For any number of years, we did not recommend anchoring here, as the city of Miami was ticketing vessels who dropped the hook on these waters. Well, those times seem to be past, and this anchor down spot can once again be labeled as a good place to spend the night, within sight of downtown Miami.

People always ask us if there is a spacious, scenic, and safe anchorage in the heart of Miami.
And our response, “Absolutely! Try Marine Stadium anchorage.”
Marine Stadium is a huge manmade basin along Virginia Key, constructed in 1963 as the first stadium in the U.S. specifically for powerboat racing. Spectators viewed high-speed races, or sometimes floating concerts, from the 6,566-seat grandstand stadium, enjoying the backdrop of the Miami skyline.
But you don’t have to worry about hydroplane races now. The last major race was held there in 1987 and the basin has become the perfect training venue for Olympic sailing and rowing teams. We enjoyed watching the men’s Canadian 49′er team showing off their stuff during our last visit.
The grandstand was declared unsafe after Hurricane Andrew, and it has since become a bit of a three-dimensional canvas for colorful graffiti artists. But don’t let the urban art create the impression the anchorage is unsafe. We have noticed regular patrols by the Miami marine police and the anchorage is consistently populated by local and transient vessels.
The anchorage is surprisingly “scenic” — in a South Florida sort of way. The basin opens to the northwest, framing a perfect view of the day- or nighttime Miami skyline. The grandstand, along the southwest shore, is still an interesting historic structure. And the northeast shore is an undeveloped greenspace, with a small dock and sandy beach with casuarina trees where you can take Fido ashore.
At the mouth of the basin you can dinghy to the Rusty Pelican restaurant near Rickenbacker Marina (which has an easy to hit fuel dock and a few moorings of its own). Personally we prefer the shelter (and price!) of Marine Stadium anchorage to the exposure of these out-of-the-basin moorings.
Marine Stadium’s next metamorphosis may be to a full-fledged mooring field. The city has plans to populate the basin with guest moorings, but the project is currently on hold due to budget constraints.
But no need to wait until the moorings are in to enjoy the history, scenery, and convenience of Marine Stadium anchorage.
Best and see you On the Water,

The Coconut Grove Sailing Club mooring field overlooks the Dinner Key – Coconut Grove waterfront south of Dinner Key Marina. This fine facility is a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR!

Fantastic club mooring field. Felt very lucky to be here and not in the overcrowded Dinner Key Marina or in the City mooring field in the road stead. Not much of an evening breeze in the summer and it did get HOT!
Heads are ok -it is a small boat sailing club with lots of kids and lots of use! For what you pay it’s WELL worth it.

Within ten minutes of receiving the important message below from Captain Hyde, the Salty Southeast Cruisers’ Net was on the telephone with Wise Gas, Inc. to determine their area of service. That’s one of the advantages of being a “non-wicki,” professionally moderated web site. Anyway, what we discovered is a potential boon for cruisers in southeastern Florida. More on that in just a second.
So, why is a ready source of CNG such big news for the cruising community? Quite simply, CNG is a superior fuel for all on-board cooking and heating purposes, as compared to propane/LPG. As many of you already know, LPG/Propane is heavier than air and, should there be a leak, can accumulate in bilges or a low place in a boat, leading to a potentially explosive situation. Conversely, CNG is lighter than air, and tends to naturally disperse.
The problem is, as we so clearly learned while formulating the SSECN’s LPG Availability Directories, that CNG is hard to obtain. Quite simply, there are very few dealers to which cruisers have easy access where their CNG tanks can be refilled.
Back to Wise Gas, Inc. Our telephone call revealed that this company will pick up, refill and deliver back to your vessel, CNG tanks from the “tri-county area” of southeastern Florida, which is comprised of Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties. Additionally, WITH ADVANCE ARRANGEMENTS, sometimes the same procedure can be undertaken along the west coast of Florida, particularly in the Tampa Bay region.
So, while it’s still not a perfect solution, nor one so broad ranging as we would like, at least now from North Palm Beach to Miami, cruisers can be sure of having a source to refill CNG tanks. It’s a start!

Claiborne –
On your recent visit to Punta Gorda, Florida I mentioned to you that if I was ever able to locate a source of CNG for those using the gas onboard their boats, I would let you know. I have finally found a source. Wise Gas, Inc., 1058 Bluewood Terrace, Weston, FL 33327 is source of CNG for vessels and vehicles in south Florida. Its website advises the following:

“At present time, Wise Gas, Inc. is offering CNG tank refills to marine boaters in the South Florida area only. We do anticipate expanding this service in terms of geography and service options in the future. Call Wise Gas, Inc. in advance at (954)-636-4291 to coordinate a CNG refill. A member of our team will meet you, pick up your current, approved cylinder in good condition and refill it for you and deliver it back to you.”
The cost of this service varies based on cylinder size and location. Call in advance to schedule your refilling needs.
E-mail: info@wisegasinc.com
Phone: (954)-636-4291

I recently met with a Wise Gas representative who was in Punta Gorda making deliveries on the west coast and exchanged my empty tank for a full one. It was a smooth and convenient process. The cost was $40.
I would advise your readers to visit the Wise Gas website at http://www.wisegasinc.com for all the information. I hope this helps and thanks for a great presentation to the boaters of Punta Gorda.

Dinner Key Marina is located in southern Miami, hard by the vibrant Coconut Grove Community. This marina and its adjacent mooring field are very popular.
We didn’t know that fuel was available at Dinner Key Marina in any form, and we do not, and intend to still not, list this service in our Marina Directory. However, it’s interesting to note that tanker truck diesel fuel deliveries may be available here.

Diesel is available at Dinner Key Marina only by arrangement to have it delivered by truck. You can get gasoline or diesel next door (a scant 1/4 mile north) of Dinner Key at Grove Harbour Marina. Check their prices at 305-854-6444.

Last June there was a HUGE row here on the Cruisers’ Net, begun by reprinting a letter fellow nautical writer, Captain Wally Moran, sent to the Miami Beach Chief Mayor (check out – http://cruisersnet.net/?p=59515). It seems that one property owner in this area objects so strongly to boats being anchored behind his house, that he shines bright spotlights out over the water, and plays loud music. Captain Wally even experienced a local law enforcement office stopping by his boat, and, after acknowledging that he had no right to do so under Florida state law, Wally was asked asked to move his vessel elsewhere.
Since then, the battle between cruisers and the property owner in question on Sunset Lake has continued! Captain Kettlewell’s comment below refers to the original posting on this subject.

Dennis, by all accounts the abuse has been solely on the part of one property owner, to the point that his shenanigans have been reported toe police numerous times by his land neighbors. He is the one who blasts loud music, shines spotlights, throws wakes, etc. The cruisers just anchor there and get this treatment. Cruisers are fighting back by reporting his illegal actions, like creating excessive noise that disturbs everyone. It is clear that this fellow thinks he owns the water behind his house. He does not. It is a public waterway for all to share.
John Kettlewell

And, the latest from Captain Wally Moran, as of 1/27/12

I’ve received an additional email from m/v Refuge since the above. There are now an additional five small boats anchored out behind Karlton’s property. The local police and, I understand, the FWC, have been around.
I’ve contacted the mayor’s office several times now and requested that the situation be dealt with, since Karlton is not only breaking the law, he is denying to others their rights. The city has not responded directly to me (yet), but I’ll wait a bit yet to see what they might do. They just might not want to speak with me – I seem to antagonize them, if you can imagine that!
Interestingly enough, Karlton is also proving that boaters DO have the right to anchor in Sunset Lake by his actions with his little boats. The irony is palpable, as Claiborne might say.
Karlton has had 8 visits from municipal code enforcement officers in the past 18 months or so, and two tickets. A $250 ticket remains unpaid as of today according to MB records.
My suggestion? Anchor behind Karlton’s place, and when he plays his rap music, call the city. Make sure you give them a valid celphone number, because Karlton is bright enough to turn down the music before they arrive, hence only two tickets out of 8 calls.
The fines run up to $5000 for subsequent offenses. Perhaps after this idiot has paid a few thousand dollars in fines, he might smarten up. Or maybe not. I know how I’ll bet.
btw, look for the red sailboat anchored there in a couple of weeks. I’m heading into Florida now and plan on stopping by to wave hello to Karlton and spend a couple of days at least – it’s a nice anchorage. Would hate to miss it, and I’ve got some great noise cancelling earphones I want to try out.
Wally Moran

With some misgivings about anchoring in Sunset Lake today and dropped the hook.
It’s our first time here and were surprised to see at least a third of the anchorage taken by a fleet of small sailboats. I’m assuming it was the homeowner, confused about our rights to anchor, who has anchored a fleet of used “Pico” sail boats (total of 19), apparently behind his property. Each boat has been carefully anchored and fitted with a short PVC mast with a lawn LED light.
It would appear he has succeeded in making it impossible to anchor behind his house. The boats are under 16′ with no motor so don’t require Florida Registration, but I’m not sure the lawn LED lights meet the USCG requirements for 2NM viability.
There are two boats anchored to the south of “the fleet” with us and there is room for may one or two more. There is also still room to the north for a couple more boats. It’s just kind of sad.
Here is are the links to a couple of photo that show the “fleet”.
