Wow - we have been here six weeks! Not bad for planning to be here only a week. I guess that speaks very highly of our experience here. This experience is that special blend of the beautiful environment, the comfortable harbour facilities and the relationships created and built upon. The picture above shows Tiffany Rose at her home mooring. We climbed a tower in the local park to get this picture. Christopher has really enjoyed the settled time here and people have been very welcoming to him. He got to join another Gym class with the local home schoolers again this week and had a great time. See the clip below of his part in a relay.
Having the family visits really was a great way to top it all off. And today we had another short extended family visit. My brother-in-law Mike's sister Jan and her husband John were down camping in the Keys and we were able to get together for a short visit. John is quite a sailor himself so it was fun to have them over and see the spectacle of 300 boats in Boot Key harbor. The rest of the day we spent getting ready for our planned departure in the morning. From here we'll take our time heading back towards Biscayne Bay and then we will see what we want to do from there. We'll miss it here. It's been a blast!

Hi Dave, Shirley and Christopher! Your conch blowing has greatly improved!! That was a great salute to your final sunset at Boot Key Harbour! (It almost brought a tear to my eye and I'm pretty sure it may have for you.) It was certainly a beatiful spot. Enjoy the rest of your journey!
Love you, Patti
