Miami a city of many cultures, where English is often a second language and life is lived behind a security gate. A city alive with color and lively music characteristic of her many inhabitants. Like a sirens song she lures you to the shoals of her soul hoping to trap you into accepting her sensuous lure forever only to be permanently ship wrecked on her shore.

Realizing our fate Ruby and I await first light and quietly slip away using the wind to expedite our escape to the south and the Florida Keys that lie so inviting, so refreshing, a welcome relief. So it is we now lie tucked away in Key Largo, swinging quietly at anchor, wasting away. Life is good, Life is..... good.
