It rained last night starting about midnight and judging by
the amount of water in the dinghy quite hard. So this morning first thing, I put
up the windshields since it looked like rain, according to NOAA they expected
the cold front to reverse direction and move north after a day of southern
movement and come back through Miami as a warm front with more rain, a rather
strange forecast. Didn’t happen. After breakfast, I went to bail the dinghy and
slipped and fell my right lower back, upper butt contacting the aluminum seat,
ouch!! Bailed the dinghy and went for a ride around the anchorage that is just
beautiful. An oasis in the middle of high rise city, 163rd Street in North
Miami Beach.
During the dinghy ride I began to hurt a bit more and
returned to the boat. To make a long story short, we spent the afternoon in
urgent care at a hospital. I am fine, no broken bones but very sore, better
with Vicodin. We returned about 5:00, Randy and Sheri from Priorities were most
helpful, providing moral support, agreeing to watch our boat for 24 hours if
necessary, and taking and returning us to shore in their dinghy.
Back on the boat this evening everything stowed ready for
tomorrow’s adventure.
