The crew of "the Bles-sing!" enjoyed the best weather day yet during our cruise from Marathon to Key West. 72 degrees, mostly sunny skies, light winds and gentle waves made the 5 hour trip a pleasure. Even the crab pots gave us a break eventually. Our slip here in the City Marina is perfect and will allow us to easily launch Aunt Bethany for the first time to do some exploring by dingy. The scenery and water is gorgeous.
Our route took us through seven-mile bridge as we departed Marathon and put us out into the Atlantic for the ride down. We went all the way around Key West, giving us a chance to see many of the island's famous spots from the water. The bridge onto the island, the most southern point marker, the most southern house, Margaritaville Resort and Marina, military bases, the lighthouse across from Hemingway's house, Mallory Square... we had a good time seeing them from a different perspective and reminiscing about previous visits to the area.
