5/13 - Beautiful morning, sunny, winds NNE 10-15 kts. All maintenance issues are resolved, boat is reprovisioned and Pete arrived from Biloxi on schedule (when you see him, be sure to ask him about his flight from Ft. Myers into Key West). Afternoon and into evening spent at Mallory Square for the "sundown ritual".
5/14 - 5/15 We planned to head out cruising, but the winds didn't lay down so we bummed around town for 2 days. Pete now knows where every waterfront bar is in the harbor area. We never really got far enough away from the boat to do the "Duval Crawl". Patty and Pete took the "Conch Train Tour" (great way to see the "Old Town" area) so he at least knows there's a lot more to the town.
5/16 - The 3 of us took the "Yankee Freedom II" (fast cat boat) to the Dry Tortugas to tour Fort Jefferson. After the tour we spent the afternoon snorkeling (a first for Pete!) and hung around the beach until time for the boat ride back. Fun, but tiring day!!
5/17 - Pete had an early morning flight out, made it home without any problems - and fortunately had a bigger airplane out of Key West. Hopefully he had as much fun as we did!
We slipped the lines from the marina around 11:30 and headed west to Boca Grande Keys to anchor for the night. Put the hook down at 2:30 and had a lazy afternoon.
