We left Key West May 5 and mostly motored to Book Key and Marathon, mooring at the City Marina in a well-protected area (right). We met a couple from Annapolis on a catamaran who liked Marathon so much they have stayed for five years. A mooring only costs $325 a month. You can walk from the marina to everything you need, including a West Marine store. And buses can take you to Key West and Miami. Francie and I are considering Marathon as a place to keep Lily Rose for awhile.
The next day we hoisted our genoa jib (left) and motor-sailed up Hawk's Channel to Rodriguez Key, where we anchored in 7 and a half feet of water! That night we enjoyed a super moon.
Then on to Biscayne Bay and Miami May 7, passing several homes on stilts, known as Stiltsville (right). Later, back in Colorado, Francie and I met the couple who built this house. Now Miami does not allow more. It was exciting to see the Miami skyline risng.
