Yesterday morning at 0700 we dropped the mooring ball in Boot Key Harbor and left Marathon, FL for this year, We are surely hoping to make it back next winter. It was a great place to stay and we met many wonderful people.
We have tried to sail for 2 days in a row, but the wind isn't cooperating. The winds have been out of the NE at about 20 knots. Yesterday we were travelling mostly East and the wind was right in our face. Today we turned a little North and sailed for a bit but it was slow going. Catamarans have a hard job sailing that close to the wind. We are hoping that the wind swings to the SE tomorrow ad that should be a good sail. Here is a peek at today's sail.
Yesterday we got as far as Rodriquez Key off Key Largo which was a 45 mile trip. We anchored on the north side of the island and had a quiet night. Today we only sailed at 4 knots (nautical miles per hour) and stopped around 1:30 PM in Angelfish Creek.
Yesterday we saw a large loggerhead turtle and 4 Man O War jellyfish in the water. Today we had lots of dolphins playing around the boat as we were sailing. I caught the dolphins on video!
