Arrival Key West, FL

Docked at Galleon Marina, Key West, FL
Yes that is a 65 footer next to us called MISSED CARD II
After one of our best-ever offshore over night passages, we arrived Key West, FL, where we dropped anchor in the harbor and slept. The next day we did not even drop the dinghy or leave the boat. We worked on our boat all day and used the time to catch up on various boat chores and services. We planned to move into our reserved slip a day early so we could wash the boat, do laundry and shopping, much needed from being out on the anchor for the past 3 weeks. We also are very excited for the arrival of our great friends, Wendy and Craig. They will board Island Spirit Sat AM and we may not let them off until we get to Miami....don't tell em....:-)

We reserved a dock at the Galleon Marina, the #1 spot in Key West, and will be spoiled by the amenities and the convenience to town and Duval Street. Key West is really a fun place and docking here, in town, will make it even better, especially with good friends.


Basic Map of our approach, anchorage, and dock, then off to Hawk Channel

The Marina'sSuper Bowl Party with large projector TVs will be here
Duval Street and the famous SLOPPY JOE's
What fun!.....sailing with good friends and spending time with them as we share the Island Spirit Adventures together. We will spend Sat and Sun here, then sail up to Bahia Honda Key where we will spend a day on a beautiful state park beach. Then we will sail up to Marathon and return to Harbour Cay Club and show Wendy and Craig how great that private club/marina is. There we will enjoy Marathon, bike to Sombrero Beach and enjoy the sunsets at the Tiki Hut. Life is gooooood....
