We left St. James City anchorage at first light Tuesday morning to a beautiful flat calm day on the Gulf. We traveled South to West Pass (Tiger Key) in the Ten Thousand Islands area where we anchored in a beautiful remote spot that is not listed on any of the guides. This is a place we are going to make a note of and come back when we have time to explore the Islands and huge white sand beaches. (we promise, Cassie and Godiva) Wednesday we traveled to the Little Shark River, the area we explored in mid February with Tide Hiker and Rickshaw, and anchored for the night. Thursday we left at first light and made our way through Florida Bay and tons of crab pots to Marathon Marina. When we arrived, our slip assignment was next to Sea Pearl, Joe and Salty, Cassie and Godiva's friend, and were met by Jim and Robin on Adventures who are also in the marina, to catch our lines. After we were tied off many of our friends from when we stayed here for a month and a half came by to welcome us back. We didn't have much time to settle in before we were informed that we were invited to Gypsies in the Palace, along with Adventures, Sea Pearl, and Lucky Stars, who are all waiting for a weather window to cross to the Bahamas, for cocktails and then dinner at Dockside. (where two or more are gathered!) Today we are going to run some errands, clean up September Song and chill for the day. Saturday we are going to join 16+ of our fellow Defever cruisers who are in the area, at Sombrero Beach for the day, then Sunday evening go back to Dockside for the crazy goings on that happen there on Sundays and another, what else? party.

Welcome back to the Florida Keys. Our boat is in the yard - prepping for our trip. Expecting Lifes2Short in a couple of days. We would like to invite you up here while they are here but I know you don't have a car - so we will plan a trip down to meet you guys with them and go out to dinner somewhere. We are fond of the Lobster Reubens at the Fish Market in Marathon! WE can talk about the crossing and we have an update on Chub for everyone. We spoke to our friend who owns a dock there and got all the scoop - it is SHUT! Call us anytime 664 8809Susan and Jack
