That's January

We're doing laundry and I might as well catch up a bit here .The wifi is far superior to the library.
So here's some of the photos I tried to upload last time.Chickens all over the place here.Buskers too.Perry and I have been getting our Celtic whistle with mandolin set together but the busking rules and pecking order is pretty strict. We sat down at sunset in Mallory square and started playing but within a couple of minutes a shadow fell over us and this large guitar player said "nice stuff guys .....but ya caint play here ".Anyway we've officially applied but still waiting our 'spot' allocation.

Anyway Susan has been giving Gail some art lessons and she's doing great but I'll have to wait til she gives me permission to post her work here.Or I'll just post it !!! These will be the last pics til we get a new camera anyway as I killed ours the other day.Left it under an open porthole and it rained.

Key West Coool

Well I know it's a long time between blogs but bear in mind that computers are my enemy and living on board doesn't always make it easy to get to one of those transmiting thingies etc. Enough of that. We went down the inside from Miami and it sure was shallow,depth sounder reading 0.1 many times but in 2 days we got to Matecumbe Bay and then went out to the Hawk Channel and had yet another delightful sail to Marathon,which is about half way down the Keys. Here we celebrated Perry's birthday at a Chinese restaurant (and half the night at a bar).I think we barely made it to bed before midnight!!!!!Marathon ,or Boot Key Harbour to be precise is is a very calm place to stay ,with all the facilities you could want.....But.... there ain't much goin' on so after a bit of project catch ups etc we had another delightful sail down the Hawk to Key West.This town is something else.More old hippies and old salts (and beautiful young people ,but we don't count them)than you can poke a stick at.Lots of artists,musicians,chickens,buskers,bars,beautiful architecture and most of the time the weathers been warm.Got another cold front coming though.Thanks Canada eh! If there were protected anchorages ,closer than 3/4 mile from town,this would be paradise.
