Staying for a while
09 March 2013 | Hawks Cay Marina, Duck Key
Joannie/sunny and warm!
Greetings from Hawks Cay Marina, Duck Key
As planned, we weighed anchor yesterday and continued south from Rodriquez Key. The northerly wind was not very strong, so we mostly motored-sailed, arriving at Duck Key at 1700. This marina is part of an extensive resort with 5 pools, all sorts of water sports activities, restaurants and snack bars. We will stay here for the rest of March and most of April so our kids and grandkids can visit during their respective school breaks. They were here with us 2 years ago and one of the highlights of that trip was visiting the Dolphin Research Center a few miles away on Grassy Key. We will definitely go back there this year! As an added treat for the grandkids, we have made reservations for them to have a “dolphin encounter” (swimming with the dolphins) this time. We will most likely take a side trip to Key West for parasailing, too. There are no bad options!
