Belated Update

Over a month since our last update...sorry. We left Key West on March 4th and cruised straight to Naples. We planned to be there until March 7th and go to Burnt Store in Charlotte Harbor.

Rainy Day

This looks like it will be the first full day during which we will not see the sun...not bad for 6 weeks, and good day to provide for start of Lent.

Pigeon Key visit

Took a ferry ride and visited Pigeon Key, the base construction camp for 400 workers during the construction of the railroad from Miami to Key West.

We have been settled in here at Marathon Marina (fondly referred to as Camp Marathon). Mostly our days involve vessel maintenance, shopping, reading, site seeing by dinghy or bike, dog walking, etc. there is a great deal of fellowship among the cruisers here...especially those here for extended stays...more than 4 weeks. The weather has been terrific. We eat out a few times a week. The attached photo is representative of the informal nature of the Keys. Dogs allowed in restaurants...very good thing.
