Sunday sunrise and looking like some rain coming. We have had only one light rain all week with the strong winds. The humidity is low, rare in S Fl - Keys in May. Winds are subsiding a bit. Weatherman says breezy now instead of windy!
Friday morning, the local weather man stated, "Marathon is recording gusts up to 33 this morning and the seas in the Florida straits are up to 13'.” Yeah, we stayed put! Even though we are in a very well protected harbor it is still choppy in here but thankfully Summer Breeze handles this very well and we don't feel the chop inside. We check the mooring lines and say "ok", we are good.
Sunday evening we finally made it over to Dockside restaurant (really a bar) on the other side of the harbor. We had a great time, listened to some great music and had some ok food. But you know it’s time to leave when I’m drinking Monkey in Your Trunk and Iguana Bait beer abd it tastes good! Or... maybe it’s time to stay? Hmmmm
Got some really great shots of the sax player. I feel another musician painting coming!
Monday morning, we left at 7:30 am. The winds are predicted to slow down some being making the waterway reasonable. We took the Florida bay route vs offshore as it is much calmer. The bay route can be tricky with the shoals and little mangrove islands everywhere.
Anchored behind Islamorada for the night. Tomorrow we head tor Elliott Key closer to Miami. Time to head home.
