Ron,

The wind guru says Friday, Saturday and Sunday are going to be great days. I am going to change my impellar and try to get out this week.

Dave

Glad to see you made it all right. Maybe I can slip over there in the next couple weeks. (doctor says I can't return to work until June 10th ) Well I can only wish I could go. I probably will just piddle around here for a few weeks.

Never tried to get stick on letters off the hull. When I got the boat I needed to change the hailing port. It was painted on. I tried acetone and others. The ony way I got it off was scotch brite pad and easy off. :) This now turned the gelcoat yellow. :( A little white vinegar brough it back to whi...

I understand the crazy work schedule. My work went to zero on Saturday. Fell off the roof and broke my arm. So no work untill mended.

Checking the wind, Saturday, Sunday 7-12 kts, out of the south. Tuesday wind shift to the east. Wind picking up on Thursday.

The time is about upon us. We are just about ready to go. Just gotta get through the next week and a half of work :( Very excited but getting nervous, since this will be the first time leaving sight of land and crossing the dreaded gulf stream. Compleate enclosure is fisnished, bought an new Lehr p...

Some thoughts on destinations. Indian Key in Islamorada ocean side. Just on the other side on Florida Bay side is Lignum Vitae Key.

Got out to the reef on Monday for the first time in months. Great day on the water just me and the kids. Came back to the dock with some nice trigger fish. The wife had to work. Too bad for her. So this weekend she wants to go out. If you want we can show you the reefs if the weather is good for oce...

We tried it last March Put in at Garrison Bight Marina. Left Key west at 2PM with the Marqueses being the anchorage for the night. We had a following wind of 15 knots, which made a nice trip with dolphins on our bow. We found a nice spot to anchor for the night and then the wind picked up. 25knots w...

Can't help you too much with Marathon. Just west of there Looe Key is good for snorkeling and scuba diving. I am up in Key Largo. Been boating around here for about thirty years. Planning on doing a trip to the Dry Tortugas next month sometime. This will be the first time by boat. Last time I flew i...

I am always in the Keys. Let me know what you are looking to do here. I may have some ideas for you.

Dave

Sounds like fun. I haven't been over there for about 22 years. It was pretty cheap to check in with customs and immigration. We left Key Largo and checked in at Cat Cay. I think it was 5 bucks a head. I heard they are charging by the boat. What was the cost for checking in with them?
