Key West - A rest day from our sloppy ride yesterday

 

Ann never met anyone she couldn’t have a conversation with.

We were exhausted from our ride yesterday with the constant motion of the boat in the sloppy seas. We hit the bed around 10:00 and didn’t get up until 7:00. Overnight, the weather changed with high winds out of the north and cooler temperatures. The low tonight is even due to get below 70!

A good view to the west but I would think it would be exposed to a strong west wind?

With all that excitement out of the way, we didn’t even have to turn on the air conditioning but I’m sure that won’t last. We met our neighbor (photo with Ann) who spent the winter in the Bahamas and they were off today in winds that we would rather not sail in. The marina here is situated with a view to the west and is known for fabulous sunsets and even charges more for slips with a sunset view. Some people spend the entire winter here, it’s certainly warm enough. 

We will head for Key Largo on Saturday and will probably wait out Sunday with high winds out of the north. Monday is due to be calmer for ride north to Marine Stadium where we will stage for the outside run to Ft Lauderdale.
