Where In The World Are We?

On The Move

We had a wonderful 5 weeks in Marlin Bay! Yesterday we headed north on the ICW for 32 miles to an anchorage off of a little island called Shell Key just off of Islamorada. Our plan is to work our way up the ICW staying 4 nights  on the hook as we approach Miami. That will take us through Miami on Monday so we can avoid the crazy boating that goes on there during the weekend. Winds are around 15 knots so we are blowing around a bit but the scenery is wonderful.

Going to go for a dinghy ride today to a nearby state park on Lignumvitae Key. We may stay here another night or go up 10 miles to Buttonwood  off of Key Largo.

Channel 5 Bridge - one of the few ways to go from the Gulf to the Atlantic along the ICW

The ICW up through the Keys  is very shallow. We passed through this channel yesterday. It is no more than 6 feet deep and around 40 feet wide. No problems though.
