Fri, Feb 26, 2010 - Marathon, FL





The skies were clear, the temperature was 63°F and the winds were from the north at 7 knots as we left Newfound Harbor and motored past the classy Little Palm Island Resort and Spa – another exclusive resort accessible only by boat or seaplane. The photos were taken as we left our anchorage.

We sailed the 23 nautical miles with north winds averaging near 20 knots and arrived at Boot Key City Marina shortly after noon where we registered for dinghy privileges, filled the fresh water tanks and had our holding tank pumped out. We anchored in our favorite protected spot at Sister Creek with the bow tied to the mangroves and a light anchor off the stern.

After securing the boat, we dinghied to the marina for showers. Back aboard Blue Heron we relaxed and enjoyed the evening.
