HI HO HI HO, IT'S OFF TO KEY WEST WE GO!


KW ROOSTER


SUNSET @ MALLORY SQUARE
VIEW FROM OUR SLIP

Yesterday, we headed down to Key West on our boat this time! It was a fairly unpleasant ride for Jake and Dorsey. We took Hawks Channel, which is the Atlantic Route. It took us about 5 1/2 hours to get down here. Good news is the last hour or so, we changed direction and the sea settled down a bit. We are staying at the Galleon Marina....nice! We got a wonderful slip! The water is so clear that we can see large Tarpon swimming right next to our boat. We have a great view and there is lots happening nearby. We are about 3 blocks from Duval Street. Last evening, we went to Mallory Square to watch the sunset and the characters that congregate there. After dinner on the boat, we stopped at a couple places to hear some great music and sip some wine. Found a great Blues Bar!
This morning we walked around the old town. We wanted to get our walk in before the onslaught of tourists and people from the cruise ships arrived. The sidewalks get very crowded.
There is a beautiful pool here as a part of the Marina. After lunch, we headed over to the pool to relax and enjoy the gorgeous weather.

  1. That's a long boat ride to KW from Marathon. I guess it was rough for the kiddo's. How long are you staying there? What fun, fun, fun!!
