Sticking around

 

Bill and I have decided to stay in Key West until the low pressure system does something! We still haven't decided whether we are going to go straight from Key West to Sarasota (about 36 hours) or hopscotch our way up the West Coast. The other issue is that we aren't sure how we are going to get out of our slip. It's hard to explain, but we are on an outside slip next to the breakwater. So Bill will either have to back the boat out of the slip about 150 yards into the fairway, or we'll have to turn the boat around in the slip using lines and the bow thruster with the help of the dock hands. You can see from the picture below how tight of a squeeze it will be, especially since other boats are docked in the outside breakwater slips. 

Either way, we aren't worried about it now since we'll be here for another few days at least. And since it is Memorial Day weekend, I am sure that Key West will be especially fun/crazy/crowded.
