Key West - Busy Day for the Kids

 

We now have our new anchor, a Spade 140 (66 lbs) to replace the one we lost

Ann and I did our usual morning run and walk while the kids slept in. Sarah has the entire week planned out. In the morning, they visited the shipwreck museum and a couple of other shops. When they returned to Fleetwing, they brought slices of Key Lime Pie and talked about what they were going to do the rest of the week. 

Meanwhile, we still enjoy our afternoon walks, looking at all the flowers coming out

We plan on a sail Wednesday afternoon with winds around just 10 kts but fair skies. That should make it easy to return to our dock without doing damage from high winds pushing the boat around. We also have one member not so used to sailing that we don’t want to push too far. Thursday is taken up with an all day party at the end of the dock on the second floor of The Brewery, an Irish Day celebration with half price beer and other goodies.

Thursday will also be the day Ann cooks corned beef and cabbage in her Instant Pot, a first for that but following a recipe she found that looks good. Friday will be an evening cruise for the kids on one of the catamarans with snorkeling and snacks. 

That’s brings up Saturday morning which they have free since they don’t have to leave the boat until early afternoon to make a 5:00 pm flight. Time flies. For now, we look ahead to a Wednesday afternoon sail.
