Craig and Angela with Mahi Dinner.So, we left key west and sailed about 40 miles to the Marqueses keys. (actually it was too calm to 'sail' so we motored. used the iron sail.) then we went on out to the Dry Tortugas. spent a couple of days at Fort Jackson. built in the 1800's. very cool old place. (not "cool" - duhhhh) had visits via sea plane and lots of other cruisers show up during our stay. saw 200 lb Jew Fish, 6' shark, 100+lb Tarpon, lobster, crab, and swam with them.
Caught some fish! Barracuda, Mackaral, Mahi Mahi, and enjoyed eating them.
Last NIGHT we sailed back to Key West. after 3 days of dead calm. (see photos) as in not a darn ripple... we decided to motor back overnight. had a nice surprise blow about midnight that pushed us along at about 7 knots. (that's fast mom) now we are back in K.W. anchored and had naps. are loading up for Cheeseburgers in Paradise. will leave here for the sail back up to Marathon in the morning. everyone is healthy, happy and feeling younger than ever!
