Key West Yacht Club

For those of you who are map nerds , Nana thought she would give you a visual of the Florida coast line both East and West. The check marks are where we already cruised , mostly on Ireland’s Eye. With New Horizon we have come from Sarasota, stayed at Fort Meyers Beach, Naples, Marco Island, Indian Key Pass ( although we did not go up to Everglades City , we anchored at Indian Key pass which is  the entrance up to Everglades City ), and NH is now at the Southern most point Key West. Key West is ICW ( Intercoastal Waterways) 1240. 

The Key West Yacht Club provides great protection, is quite, catches the sunset over the Navy Base, has great food and wonderful staff. It is also the perfect bike ride into town which provides us with the opportunity to view the crowds from our bikes! Many thanks to John for his flexibility with our slip and for his expertise on our electrical issues. NH will stay here until Friday March 5th.

Although the picture is not very crisp it will give you an idea of the view out the main cabin hatch when Nana woke this morning. This is the morning Moon which is a full Moon and at night can be seen shining among the stars of the constellation Leo. Nana was able to see Regulus, the Lions heart , shining brightly in the vicinity of the lunar disk - Star Walk 2 is a great app to help review the nights sky. It is also known as the snow moon.

During our bike ride today we came across the Southern most point,  however the line to take pictures was too long and not much social distancing! So Nana snapped a picture from her bike. 

Another great sunset on our return to NH where we had yet another great dinner, movie , and Nana listened to the BSO while star and moon gazing! You can see the sunset on the bottom of the screen shot. Nana and Nandad were sitting on the bench looking out over the Atlantic. You can also see a small picture of a horseshoe crab creeping along the water, the kite surfers kite resting on the beach, and a great picture of our grandson Liam practicing his martial arts. Not too bad. Our very own private fire works show at 10 pm from where I don’t know!
