Plantation Key,
Islamorada, FL
We made a late departure from Matecumbe Bight and headed up the waterway to Islamorada. We were in a forest of crab pot buoys and in shallow water, less than 10 ft, all day. It was warm and sunny and seas gentle so no complaining even though current was against us and wind at our stern,
It took us about 3 hrs to get to our destination. Unfortunately we had to anchor out tonight but expect to find a slip available tomorrow. We are expecting rain after midnight but should be stopping around noon tomorrow. The marina is expensive by our standards $3 a ft. but has a resort like air about it. Pool, beach, tiki huts, amphitheater. We look forward to a little luxury as a change but prefer anchoring out in general.
We got some good news today. The deal we have been working on to get a larger condo with a garage has come through. So when we return in the spring Lee will be able to get his tools out of the storage unit and fill up the garage. It will never see a car. We will also have a guest room and an office area. The bonus is it isn't half a mile from the marina where our boat lives.
We stayed here before and had no bug problems, but tonight we have been fighting the mosquitoes again. We have a battery zapper and fried a couple but will bet money on a few getting even with me.
Who expects to fight mosquitoes in Feb? There was supposed to be wind but we are not seeing it. Think that would help the bug problems.
