On to Key West

    We left St Pete Friday evening for a cold, cold sail down the coast. We'd looked at the forecast temps and while the Key West highs weren't really higher, the lows were warmer by 15-20 degrees...and it was time to move on. We dressed in all our layers, pulled off the lines again, and headed south. While we already miss all our St Pete friends, our two nights off-shore closed with a special welcome to Key West once again.

    At 0630 this morning I sipped a fresh cup of coffee as the big genny dragged us south by the bow. The sky began to change from dark to blue, to gray, then light blue, red, orange, and every possible color between. Photo's never do it justice, but I grabbed the camera and shot away over the next hour stopping to take off layer after layer as Hjlmr pointed us toward the Northwest Channel.

    We closed by rolling onto the reef and down the channel under sail. We checked in in shorts, now sitting in the cockpit watching the sun set with a glass of wine thinking about updating the project list...awwww later....
