We're in the Keys!!!

The trip down from Tampa went very smooth. The admiral wanted to stop a couple of times on the way to do some exploring with the kids. Great idea. Stopped the first night near Stump Pass at Englewood and the second night at Ft. Myers Beach. The next moring we shot down to Marco Island and topped off the tanks for the run down. Seas were flat calm all the way down.

We leave for Tampa Wednesday morning. Based on fuel consumption, I was able to calculate that we can go straight back to Ft. Myers Beach with plenty of fuel reserve, which should shave about an hour off the return trip (one less fuel stop).

Great picture. You are traveling right through my old fishing hole. You are running on auto pilot Yes? That is a very straight wake behind you. You look like you could be distracted a little bit. :-)
 
Left this morning to dodge some weather. Just had lunch at Marco Island and are taking off for points north. Yep, on autopilot and yep, tons of distraction!
 
I dont get it, all the way to KW just to overnight????????
 
I love Key West! Only was there for a few hours - but it was by boat (ok, a cruise ship)...planning on going back...someday.
 
Beautiful! The admiral and I get there this Saturday to stay for our annual week there for our anniversary (7/4)...this will be the first year there without a boat, though, as we usually stay at A&B Marina...this year we're renting a house. A week in Key West with no boat will likely end with Lisa saying "fine, just get another boat already...I'm tired of hearing you whine!"
 
Shep, sounds like there is method to your madness! Good luck.....

I wish whining would work. Even pleading and begging.

I'm past begging and pleading....I've now moved on to "completely wear her out" mode!

Sorry you'll already be gone when we get there Skeeto, or I'd offer to bring you a peace offering cocktail just to sit on the boat in the marina!

We stayed at A&B Marina. It was great and an easy walk to see everything. Floating docks and no finger docks, which is great for keeping the side of the hull clean.

We weren't planning to go all the way down to Key West, but made the decision quickly because the sea state was perfect.

Unfortunately, the Admiral is taking the rest of the crew to see their Grandparents in Michigan so we had to get back. Because of the heavy waterspout activity yesterday and forecast for later today, we had to make a quick exit or wait for late Thursday to head back. We It was an awesome trip though! I can't wait to go back.
