Key West - at last!

 

Key West is packed! The anchorages are full too as evidenced by the lack of dinghy space.

The weather was as predicted, winds less than 10 kts out of the east that pushed us west. It was so good to get to Key West, our home for the next two months. On our way in, we saw a huge cruise boat docked so that was just like old times. All the restaurants we packed with the exception of Schooner Wharf which was mystifying. Why go to all the tourist type restaurants when you have Schooner Wharf? We went at 6:30 and had our pick of a table, very odd. 

Our dock was waiting for us!

Another Key West tradition was BO’s Fishwagon which also had plenty of tables available. The new restaurant across the street was packed - but it has no character compared to BO’s. Oh well, I guess that leaves more room for those that know the real attractions of Key West!

We celebrated with a fish dinner at Schooner Wharf

We will be here until 3/28 during which time we will host two of our grandkids presently in college over spring break. It will be quite the adventure. We’re looking forward to seeing them. For us, it’s going to be just taking time off, not doing too much to counter all the excitement of the last week in Key Largo with Fleetwing. I could use some dull time for a bit.
