After entering the Keys we dropped anchor off Key Largo. Most of Key Largo's development in on the Atlantic side so we didn't go ashore. There were only two other boats in a large bay so it was a little slice of paradise. The catamaran about 1/4 away seemed to be having anchor troubles so we used the binoculars to check out the problem. Well, yes they were having anchors difficulties and yes they were also stark naked! Ah, life in the tropics!"Left the next afternoon for a short run to Islamorada. We took the dinghy ashore and "officially" walked into the Keys ("we shall return").
Ashore we did some Christmas shopping and even saw Christmas trees for sale under a tent. It's a little hard to think Christmas when it's 84 degrees. Then we returned to the boat and gave Compass Rose a good cleaning. We swam around the boat in the crystal clear waters cleaning
the waterline. People ask us 'what do you do all day?'... we're not sure but we do it in bathing suits!Tomorrow morning we plan to depart for the final 30 miles to Marathon.
