Boca Chita Key


We are anchored off Sands Key about a mile from Boca Chita Key. This key was once the property of Mark Honeywell of Honeywell Computers. A wonderful place for picnics, it is now part of Biscayne National Park. The lighthouse never directed anyone to the harbor; Mark couldn't get a permit for the light.








We dinghied over to the park from our anchored boats to relax in the shade of a picnic pivillon. Tom expects many local boaters for the weekend both tied up in the harbor and anchored over here.
Went swimming off the boat in the afternoon afterwhich Joanne watched Oprah as we can now get the Miami TV stations.
