Since yesterday was bash key west day today I thought i would write some good things about it. First off, If your remembering key West from the 80’s or early 90’s forget it, those days are gone. It is now filled with cruise ships dumping 1000’s of people off at a time, all looking to…

We are both teachers that love to explore and play in the great outdoors whenever we can, especially during the summer. It also gives our little guy a chance to see the world beyond the small corners of our town.
Key West Mooring Field, Yuck!
Key West has always been a magical place. The people are unique, the attitude is uninhibited, and the government is the best Uncle Louie can provide between margaritas and marijuana breaks. I know that sounds harsh, but when the local government takes over the business of marina moorings and limits its competition by passing regulations…
Full moons of Key West
Its been a beautiful day here in the keys. The winds have been from the East at 10ish and the temperature has been a comfortable 87ish. We had a great trip from Bahia Honda; leaving around 10 a.m. and motorsailing until noonish, then sailing the remainder of the way to Key West. We are anchored…
Bahia Honda fun
Yesterday (whatever day that was) we motored sailed from Marathon to Bahia Honda State park. It was about a 15 mile trip on beautifully smooth seas. As we were heading into Bahia Honda Lesa was having a fit because the channel is just a missing span from the original train bridge and it looks like…
Oh, Its good to be back!
Oh its good to be back on the boat again! That tropical bitch Debby was depressing us with her constant rain, and dreary attitude so we left the boat at Marathon and went home to ocala for 5 days. Don’t get me wrong, it rained like hell in Ocala but at least I could set…

Restaraunt Reviews
Part of sailing is, of course, visiting nearby land and exploring. We go ashore every couple of days for supplies, sometimes showers and laundry, and the occasional restaurannt meal. I dedicate this section to those places we eat a meal different from boat fare. ***** = best ever $ =$15-25 for all 3 of us…
Strange Things Seen on the Water in One Day
Key Biscayne Bay – life preserver ring on the waters bottom (yes the water is that clear). Didn’t do someone much good. Tire including rim floating on top of water. Balloon bouncing in tne water obviously tethered to something under the water. No dead bodies thrown in by Dexter. Lignun Vitae Key – a barge….
LigmunVitae to Marathon Sleigh Ride
A sleigh ride it was today. We pulled anchors around 10 this morning headed out of the anchorage at lignumVitae; the wind was still cranking 20ish out of the east/northeast and gusting. The waves werent bad but the gusting wind made me want to try the ocean side for the trip to marathon. I should…
