Even though I was not scheduled to begin my stay in Key West until the 24th, I decided to check with my new marina about coming down sooner. The travel weather for Sunday looked pretty good and it was forcast to deteriorate over the next couple of days

They said that coming down sooner was not a problem so I sailed down on Sunday the 21st. The winds were brisk and just off my stern which made for a quick trip down. I got here in about six hours and made it safely into my slip.

In the days since my arrival, we have been getting hit with the outter rain bands and wind from Sandy. Off-shore seas have been estimated at 16 feet.... I have been busy congratulating myself for coming down early and avoiding that mess. :O) **whew**
