Sticking with our plan to be where we are going to be by three, we set sail (that's right set sail) form Key West this morning at 0815 bound for Marathon, Fl. About three hours into the only great sail we have had so far, we decided to take the advice of Safari and stop in Bahia Honda Key. A quick look at the charts said that there were gremlins on the approach but, as it turned out, there were none. We had the best sail today in a long time. At times we hit at least mach .000001 or more precisely 8.1 kts. Not fibbing here since until the wind died, we were beating a Nordhaven trawler. This is a real treat. It is a State Park between bridges on the Keys highway. The holding is good and the water is awesome. We can see our anchor 13 feet down. Gee, I hope it rolls over and digs in. This is one of the stops folks before us told us about. We may stay yet another night. The bars are only three tonight so I will keep this one short.
