drifting
a little Canadian Shark class sailboat with frozen crew making their way south After two weeks of miserable cold weather we are finally back in shorts and t- shirts as things return to normal.
The cold water (it went from 72f down to 49f) killed hundreds of thousands of fish - even as far south as here in the Keys.
We had an uneventful run down the west coast to Marathon and have settled on a mooring for a month. From here we can take side trips to a few nice anchorages and also spend a couple of nights in Key West (all we can afford - where it is difficult to find any accommodation under $200 a night.)
Also have reconnected with some other cruising friends met last year - Jim & Christine of 'Baroness' and have made new friends as well.
Yesterday we had an impromptu Australia Day celebration with local lobster on the barbie and a couple of beers - couldn't find any Aussie brands tho.
