MARCH 26, 2012
We arrived in Marathon about 2:00 pm. It is really good to be at this stopping point for a few days. We will probably spend a week here. Boot Key Harbor is really empty. This is the latest in the season we have been here, and many of the boats have headed home or are on their way to the islands, for the summer. The population is entirely different than we are used to here, but we did run into Carolyn and Lloyd on "Amelia Rose" who keep their boat in Charolette Harbor and we also talked with our pirate friends, Jake and Amy on "Gypsy Song". JAKE HAS BEEN BANNED FROM SHOOTING HIS CANNON OFF IN THE HARBOR. They will be heading to the Bahamas by the end of the week. We are looking forward to a visit to Sparkey's Landing at Key Colony for good fresh 25 cent "peal and eat" shrimp and a day in Key West.
