| Easy sail to key West! |

| Relaxed Admiral |
On Wednesday morning we decided to drop the mooring ball and travel a short way to the Boot Key Harbor entrance to Burdines fuel dock. We breathed a sigh of relief to find our engine and propeller worked after getting caught onto an old crab pot rigging when we arrived 3.5 weeks ago!! After filling with fuel and water we went back to our mooring. Well, since we had come this far along the Florida coast we decided it would be a shame not to go all the way to Key West. Jane made a quick phone call to Key West Bight marina and got a slip for 3-4 nights right in the heart of the old city. So first thing yesterday we dropped the ball at 6:45 and had a terrific sail into Key West by 2PM. This is definitely quite a place. There are boats everywhere, resorts, shops, restaurants, etc. We wish we had been here a month! After checking in we put Pretzel into her bag and started to explore the Harbor walk. We ended up at the cruise ship area where there is a sundowner festival every night. There are street performers, local craftsman stalls, and bars!! There must be more bars per square foot than Ireland. Exhausted and hungry we returned a tired Pretzel to the boat at 7PM and then had a delightful dinner at the end of our dock at the “Raw Bar”. Delicious!!! Today we will get our bikes out to explore further…and tire Pretzel out so we can do the Duval Street Crawl tonight! Enjoy the pictures!!
