Florida Keys here we come

Tuesday, mid day, we motored out to the anchorage behind No Name Harbour (that's it's name, No Name)from our home for the last two days at Coconut Grove, so we could get a before dawn start into the Keys to an anchorage behind Shell Key where we will spend Thanksgiving and Black Friday. (no shopping crowds here!)
It was a beautiful start on a calm pre-dawn morning and we were treated to our first of many beautiful sunrises in the Keys. It was so great to be out in the crystal clear blue waters of the Atlantic again. We arrived at Shell Key late that afternoon after going through a very shallow Indian Key Channel (we never saw less than six inches under us. Hey, we never touched!) and then were treated to our first of many Keys sunsets. (time to blow the conch horns)

While we were sitting in the pilot house Tuesday morning, we notice this guy paddling (no motor on the boat) into the harbour. This is his home (galley, salon, and state room under the gray tarp) and I'm sure everything he owns is on that boat he lives on.
