Home at Last

(Saturday Dec 8 - Dist: 118.3 mi; Avg Speed: 17 mph; TTT: 7:50 hrs)


We have arrived at our home for the winter.  Slip B 34 as seen above.  The Dockside Bar and Grill is in the bottom left hand corner and the Sombrero Golf and Country Club is across the street.  The trip was good although Linda was quite stressed when it started to rain and we had some difficulty in seeing the hundreds and hundreds of crab pots.  We did not fool around on this crossing, we stayed on plane as much as possible and arrived in good time.

No photos yet, but we had an excellent start to our vacation.  There were about a dozen friends waiting at the dock for us and then the party began.  It was almost Happy Hours anyway but the parade of lights was scheduled for later that night so we had a good excuse for an extended dock party.  There were not many boats but they were decorated quite well. 

It was so great to see the Marathon gang once again.

Tonight, we visit the Keys Fishery for fresh crab claws and oysters.  We are already in the Keys groove.  I try to keep in touch once and awhile but for now just know that the forecast calls for a high of 82 F and a low of 73 F for the next five days.  Darn that is nice.

  2. Way to go! Will catch up with you when we come down the Keys. It's in the 80s days and 60s to 70s at night here in the Cape, as well. Rough life...floating in the pool drinking beer or skipping around the islands in the Caloosahatchee on our little Whaler. Please tell everyone at Sombrero 'hi' for us.
