Key West at last - a Key West Bight Marina at our usual dock - E14

 

We’re in the same slip we’ve had for the last 13 years 

It’s our 13th year down to Key West for the winter. We have the same dock with the same problems, namely that you have to get off over the bow. They have plans to install a half walkway out from the dock but who knows when that will happen? For now, it’s over the bow again. 

Western Union still has not returned to its namesake slip - now a shrimp boat is there

Nothing much as changed at Key West as far as we’ve seen so far. We had dinner at Schooners Wharf to celebrate our arrival but then it’s back to our regular fare. 

Schooner Wharf is as good as ever - nothing but sky over us (no roof).

For now, the weather could not be any better with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 60s at night along with light winds. We will branch out tomorrow to see what has changed, if anything. Meanwhile, Ann bought a life vest for Hoolie that allows me to pick him up like a sack of potatoes using a strap over his back. He hangs free while I hoist him over the bow. So far, it has worked out fine although Hoolie wasn’t too fond of seeing nothing but water below him during part of the hoist. 

Time to start our exercise regime on Wednesday.
