The sea was calm and the skies clear when we awoke to prepare for our long passage to Key West. Just as the sun was rising over Ft Jefferson, we pulled anchor and headed out to sea. It was a very pleasant day with clear, sunny skies, temperatures between 69 and 79 degrees, and breezes from the east blowing anywhere from not at all to 10 knots. We saw hundreds of Portuguese Man o’War jellyfish throughout the day. The dolphins, however, were few and far between.
We covered 68 nautical miles between 7 am and 6:30 pm and made it all the way to Garrison Bight Marina where we tied up to a mooring ball for the night. Compared to some of the recent nights, this one was relatively calm and we rested well.
