The friend, named Marilyn Friend from Oklahoma, decided to stop her flight at Miami instead of going on to Nasaau so we used Sunday to explore Key West a bit more. We were able to visit Hemingway's home, the Butterfly Museum and eat lunch at Bo's Fish Wagon. We also walked around for about 4 hours going to the "southernmost place" in US and again nto Mallory Square.
This morning we left Key West and headed north to Marathon. We had a lovely day of sailing and had to use he motor for only a little while. The winds were from the SE at 15-20 knots. We arrived about 5 p.m. and hooked up to a mooring ball in the Boot Key harbor. Charlie made a short run to West Marine. After showers we headed to Dockside Bar and Grill for drinks, dinner and music.
Tomorrow we will continue north to Rodiquez Key where we will anchor our for the night. Wednesday we will go back into Biscayne Bay and Dinner Key Marina. Marilyn will meet us there. We may take a day to rest, regroup, and reprovision before going over to Bimini.
Check back later on this post. I may have some pictures from Key West and Marathon.
Hello Sharon and Charlie.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn's brother Norval here.
First and most importantly,
Happy to hear about good news from doc visits!
Thanks to both of you for letting Marilyn come aboard for some sailing. I look forward to reading any convenient posts to your blog to sail along with her.
A safe and pleasant sail to everyone!
NGK!!
