I believe the Moorings now has a base, maybe at the Miami Beach Marina? The sailing is much more challenging to me. Your navigation has to be pretty spot on. Outside the reef you have plenty of water, but in the Hawk Channel, wander 5 feet outside the channel and be aground. Outside the reef, the gulf stream flows north, sometimes pretty close to the reef. Add any NW clocking to NE wind to that and you can get a very lumpy ride. All of that said, it is beautiful. The bright turquoise water near shore to the deep indigo outside the reef. Marathon and Key West are always interesting..... You just have to be on your game...
