Key West Continued



Sunrise in Marathon, as we head off for Key West

 Barry and I arrived in the Key West mooring field late Thursday afternoon, after sailing for about 9 hours from Marathon. The water was rather rough at first, but eventually we go used to it and then the winds calmed down. We chose to use the mooring field, because of the wind direction and speed--but as you can see from previous post (haha) the water was not calm when we rt'd from our day trip to Key West today :)

  While in Key West we visited the historic cemetery in which you can see the headstone that reads: "I told them I was sick!"


A hungry fowl

 For brunch, we went to a funky, popular place called Blue Heaven and ate outside in the garden. Roosters joined us--plucking pancake bits right out of our fingers! (Lax regulations from the FL Health Dept, I guess)

We did a little shopping and walked along the historic wharf district before heading back for our dousing in the dinghy. Did you know it takes FOREVER for things to dry out when they are covered with salt water? So I did some hand washing in the galley sink tonight....never take washing machines for granted. Never.
