When in paradise, you lose track of time which seems to be separated only by weather systems and sunsets down here. We have had some rocky weather for the last week, interspersed with beautiful days like yesterday. No matter what, the temperatures always seem to fall between 70 and 80 degrees--can't beat that for February! Yesterday, we took the dinghy to 'town' for a morning of sightseeing and a bit of shopping in Key West-- returning to the boat for the arrival of several friends from St Louis who had boated down the East coast of Florida to meet us here. During the afternoon, we were treated to what had to be 'war games' at the Naval Base located right next to our anchorage. There were military helicopters and even a small submarine! In the evening, we enjoyed some roast pork with all the fixings for dinner and lively conversation, along with a beautiful sunset and moonrise (never get tired of that!) Today is our final day in Key West--heading west to the Dry Tortugas!
