| Breakfast with a view, we like views |
There was as small craft advisory out today with winds over 20 kts out of the direction we wanted to travel so we stayed put in a very protected marina at Key Largo. They have a complementary breakfast of a Jimmy Dean egg sandwich with any of several options (ham, sausage, bacon, etc.) along with orange juice, coffee, danish, and a boiled egg if desired. So naturally, we took advantage of that offering.

| The African Queen of the movie of the same name came by every few hours. It’s one of the two original boats used in the movie and was just refurbished in the same yard we were at for our repairs in January. |
The rest of the day was spent washing all the salt off Fleetwing from the sporty seas of the previous day and filling the water tanks along with doing a laundry. When we reach Ft Lauderdale, we’ll be traveling north most everyday so we wanted to get as ready as we could for the constant travel.
Monday is forecast to be a perfect day for going north with winds of 5 kts or less and calm seas. It remains to be seen if the prediction matches reality - it didn’t on Saturday! We are aiming for Marine Stadium in Miami, 50 NM miles north, a doable trip for us. Then we’ll look at the forecast for Tuesday and if it’s not good, we’ll just sit it out. It’s much easier to do that in Marine Stadium where you don’t incur a daily $180/day charge!

I was in Key Large a few years ago for a Nonsuch owners meeting and I remember seeing the African Queen there. It was in quite a mess then and the owners were trying to raise money for the repairs. It's good to know that they managed to reach their goal.

Key Largo, that is.
