In the Keys at Marathon, FL February-March 2015

We had an uneventful Okeechobee trip to Ft. Myers.  We spent about a month in the area visiting Ft. Myers Beach, Punta Gorda and Ft. Myers twice, the second visit to repair our generator.  And we anchored for several weeks at Cayo Costa state park.

Eventually we ran down the west coast of Florida to the Keys and after a few weeks in the mooring field ended up in Marathon Marina with some friends of ours.   Finally after many days of high winds its calmed down now to where we can get to the reef in the dingy.

We plan on heading over to the Bahama's next month, loitering there until June.  We'll head back up to Jacksonville and put the boat up while we head north for a new grandson and some medical appointments.  But as always, the gory details can be found here.

I should mention I'm a bit behind updating either of these blogs.  Just so busy.  Doing what I can't describe, but it sure is fun!
