Welcome to the KEYS!

We made it to the Keys and had a lobster pot line to greet our prop!
 
We were excited to make it to Key Largo and finally be in the entrance to the Keys.  We were cruising in the normal shallow waters of 6 feet and they were dropping to 4 ft here and there. Our 6 knots of speed dropped to 5 knots and Will and I thought we grabbed something however, even in the clear water we did not see that we had snagged a lobster pot line that had previously been cut but parts of it were semi floating.  After our arrival to Gilberts in Key Largo Will dove into the water to remove a line that was floating from our props when we had tied up in the marina.
You are side tied outside the hotel  in Gilberts Marina right on the ICW> (Kinda odd feeling for us!)



We left Gilberts today after staying one night and headed to Plantation Yacht Marina in Islamorada. It is a nice city park marina with alot of amenities however, there is no grocery or restaurants within even biking range. Our dock master advised us to rent a car it is cheaper than a taxi so that we can provision and see some the sights. So we did.
 
 
 
 

We are gonna stay one more night here in Islamorada and make our move down to Marathon, Florida.


LATERS!!!
