5/9 - 5/12 ..... Still Cruising!

5/9 - Another beautiful day, picked up the hook to make a move on west down the ICW - Bayside to the Marathon area, dropped the hook at one of our favorite anchorages - Burnt Point. Spent the afternoon floating in the water with a beer or two.

5/10 - Flat, calm, sunny & hot - made for a great day to cut through Moser Channel (7-mile bridge) for a cruise on the Atlantic side down Hawk Channel. The water was so calm and clear that you could see the bottom, we also saw several sea turtles swim by. Dropped the hook in Newfound Harbor Channel, just north of the "ritzy" Little Palm Island Resort. Put the dinghy in to hang out at the the locals version of Destin's "crab island".

5/11 - Picked up the hook @ 9:00 for the 4 hour run down to Key West. Dropped the hook at Fleming Key - the anchorage area just off of Key West.

5/12 - Headed in to A & B Marina to take care of some maintenance and medical issues and to await the arrival of Pete.
