Still in Marathon

The weather has finally warmed up so it feels more like paradise now! Not much to report but here is a picture of an amazing sunset last night and an iguana we saw while out exploring.

Bonefish Marina, Key Colony

Marathon-Boot Key Harbor

This is our anchorage in Boot Key Harbor last night when it was still warm and the winds were calm. The cold and the wind came back around one in the morning.


We went on a bike ride yesterday on the seven mile bridge. It was the nicest day we have had here since arriving on Jan 3. Key West had the lowest recorded temp since 1879 this morning. Next week the temps are supposed to be back to near normal so maybe we can get out and have some fun in the outdoors! I am starting to get some cabin fever going here!

Tarpon Basin New Years Day

We left Miami On New Years day heading towards Marathon, our next destination. We got a late start since we were up late for ringing in 2010 watching all the fireworks and a loud party on the island we were anchored next to. We decided to go about 50 miles and anchor in a place called Tarpon Basin. We made it to our anchorage right after it started raining and blowing,,,needless to say it wasn't much fun but little did we know that it was just the beginning of a very long night of dragging anchor and moving 2 more times till we found some good sand that would hold the anchor. I think it was 5:30am when I could finally get some sleep. I am sure the winds were gusting to 35 knots. This is the bad part of cruising but we have been very lucky with having good weather up until now. We got up late and decided that now that the anchor was set well and the wind was still pretty strong that we would just wait another day to leave here as we had part of our way today would have about 15 miles of wide open water.
So tomorrow we will hit the trail again.

We are here in Marathon and waiting for the weather to warm up! Maybe next week this big arctic front will be gone and the temps will be back to normal and we can go have some fun in the sun.!

South Beach
