We made it to Key West

Our overnight was uneventful.  Around midnight the winds picked up and Eric let me sleep until 6 am.  I took over and watched the sunrise.  We arrived safely in Key West about noon, and went to have our traditional margarita and swim.  We cleaned up the boat and did laundry.  The Benstock's arrived on Sababa about 5, along with crew Shirley and Zack to help them.  We went to A and B restaurant for a bunch of h'ors doevres.  The following day I went for a long walk, and Eric worked out on the boat.  We went to Duval for a really fun parade.  I paddleboarded, which is really fun around here with all of the huge yachts.  Mike made dinner on their boat and we watched the Lighting win.  The funniest part was when they scored and Eric threw up his hands - only problem was he had a full glass of red wine which spilled over everything.  
Last night we did something we had not done before.  We went to the roof top of the building next to us and watched the sunset.  Beautiful.  Some men who caught MANY fish gave us some fresh mahi and we grilled it for dinner.  Delicious.  
It is so much fun to be here on our beautiful boat.  It is so interesting to walk around and hear everyone's stories.  Some people have been very lucky in business and have been able to retire early and spend a lot of time on their boats.
Today we took advantage of our water toys.  We went kayaking and I paddleboarded again, which I love.  We reprovisioned the boat and will take off in the morning.
