Not being superstitious to start a voyage on a Friday, Diesel Duck motored out of the Governor's Creek, Grand Cayman on the morning of June 10th, heading for Key West, Florida, USA. The weather prognosis was good and we were able to use the jib sail in addition to the main during the day. In the evening the wind died down and from then on for the rest of our voyage the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico were windless and the seas were flat calm. Perfect for any motor vessel! Just before sunset on Monday we dropped our anchor in the anchoring field at Key West.
Britan's fastest destroyer warship the "HMS York" was in town after her five month deployment in the southern oceans on her way home. Couldn't help it, but I had to snap a picture of her while we motored by.
