Will I ever get a break

The weather projections for Sat. were good. Wind guru, Passage maker, and NOAA all said to go. Winds 7-10 k sea's 2ft or less out on the ESE perfect. Up and gone in the morning . well 10 miles out the winds started to pick-up, 15 miles out the sea's started to pick-up and 20 miles out the sea's were SW at 5-6 ft on the beam. To late to turn back I buried the bow twice and had to change course. Not knowing were I was going to end up I just went with the sea's.
Ending up in fort Lauderdale 20 miles from Miami. Tired and sore I found the Harbour town Marina and checked in for the night. another $97.00 dollars. O well, a good nights sleep was needed..
Off to customs in the morning checked in and were out of there in 5 minuets. Over to get a cruising permit but they only do that Monday to Friday 8-4. So I asked the officer if I could continue on to Miami and get the permit on Monday, well I guess I misunderstand her reply. {yes} she said and I asked do you no here the office is in Miami and her reply was no I don't go to Miami. Well what part of yes I did not understand I don't no. But Yes is yes and now I am in Miami and can't get a cruising permit, can't get an answer on how to get one, my 48 hours has expired and I am anchored in Miami harbour.No one can tell me anything, do I have to go back to Fort Lauderdale, I can't take the boat that's cruising after 48 hours I have already run out of time.
So at 8 am I will call the office again, After 22 call's and messages so far I have no answers. If have to rent a car and drive back to Fort Lauderda tomorrow I will.
I guess maybe I should have not have bother, now they have all my info, its to late.
