T&T: South Florida Circle

[Patrick And Margie Connor]

In early November I plan on during the S. FL Circle: East across the 
Okeechobee to Stuart, down the ICW to Marathon and probably direct from 
Marathon to Ft. Myers.

I would appreciate some suggestions for good one or two night anchorages on 
the East Coast and Keys.  I'm pretty familiar with the West coast.

I plan on having Claiborne Young's Guides to Eastern FL and the Keys on 
board. However, I'd like to hear about some "don't miss" spots.  I can't 
remember the name, but from years ago I remember a nice little pond right 
off the ICW in FT. Lauderdale that was a good overnight anchorage: the local 
constabulary wouldn't let you spend more than a night or two.  Also there 
has been mention on this net of a good anchorage and cruiser's bar in, I 
think, Islamorada.  How about a good anchorage in the Miami area?  Thanks 
for any help.
