Heading out for a sunset cruise (Key Largo).
The end of the line for the Florida Keys
.
Captain George got to practice his boat maneuvering skills this morning as he turned “Reflection” “on a dime” in this very tight spot so that we could leave going forward instead of backing out of the marina. Next, he got to practice his navigation skills as we made our way out the shallow channels without going aground. He did both admirably!
The wind was still blowing out of the northeast as we made our way to Anchorage Resort and Marina, a spot familiar to everyone who has entered the Keys via the Jewfish Creek Bridge, as it is the first marina on the right in Key Largo. Little did we know that this place and Gilbert’s Resort across the creek would be ”hopping” this much on a late Sunday afternoon! Boats of all sizes were coming and going from the docks and Tiki bar, and the music was loud, if nothing else. It was fun, however, to watch everyone enjoying themselves, and we had a pleasant evening aboard as we continued to ponder solutions to our generator issue.
We contacted our friends, Bo and Cyndi, from whom we had bought our boat, and they said that it would be fine for us to bring the boat into their dock on Wednesday, a day earlier than planned, for our visit with them. Bo gave us the phone number of a Westerbeake dealer in the area that might be able to do repairs, and we also hoped to have a fuel truck delivery made at their house for “Reflection”.
