Key West

We've been here at Wisteria Island anchorage in Key West for a whole week, having arrived last Thursday. After we left Fort Myers, we spent 3 nights in Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas with Wind Dancer and had a great time touring the Fort and finally being in clear water. The dogs weren't happy though, since they had to be on leashes and not allowed on the bird sanctuary island at all! No surprise there! We spent another night in the Marquesa Islands, but couldn't take the dogs to shore there, either! That's one great thing about the anchorage here: we can take the dogs to shore and let them run! It's just a low scruffy island that apparently can't support development, so the dogs lucked out! We've been enjoying the town of Key West, but I have yet to find the grocery store! The weather's been windy and rainy, but it can't last forever! Daren was able to get an internet signal here on the boat today, which is great, since I didn't have much luck at the library! We need to get dog papers for the Bahamas and then we can head on down. Stephanie on Tally Ho! has been a great guide! I'm sure I'd never've found the laundromat without her! Amanda and Ryan on Millenium Falcon introduced us to a great Irish Pub, Finnegan's Wake, with $5 hamburgers at happy hour and homemade french fries! It's a fun town, but the anchorage is a bit roll-y at times, like yesterday and today! UGH! We'll be glad when this front moves out of here!
