This is our current anchorage!
The water is so clear and blue with coral reefs about 200 feet from the boat! Grand Cayman seems pretty cool so far!
This is our boat... off to the right, yeah that little guy.
The sunset crossing the Florida Straits before the front came through.
Cabo San Antonio. The Western Point of Cuba. This is the Closest we came to Cuba. Legal or not, we tried to avoid some currents around this point.
Another Sunset from the Cockpit. Florida Straits?
Kristen obviously overwhelmed by the freighter traffic. Oh, we installed a new AIS that transmits the data to and from the big ships. Lets them know were here and lets us avoid them and know where they are going. My new favorite toy!
This Fillet...
From this Mahi-mahi! Our big excitement on the passage. Not the biggest fish we hooked though. We hooked on to something that took the line without slowing down at all for 200 yards didn't seem to notice us. When we got the line back the stainless leader was mangled like 16 inches past the lure... Big mouth! We didn't get to see him though...
This is Key West City Harbor. A place well worth visiting. About the only place in Florida well worth visiting.
Here is my model of the Dinghy. Cutey!......(ok, so I still can't figure out why Ben put this picture on here, but it's the worst picture we have taken of me so far on the trip. I can't figuire out how to delete it...if anyone knows how to delete pics please tell me quick!!!)
This is supposed to be the best beach in the Keys. You can see it all. The view:
Is bridges on both sides... We thought it was kinda funny...
This is Boot Key Harbor in Marathon, FL. Sooo many boats spend the winter here. We had our alternator tinkered with here. We requested that he replace some parts so it would all blow up about ten hours later. He succeded.
I am thinking this is back in Miami. We had some beautiful sunsets and sunrises here.
There are two Dolphins (porpoises) off to the left here that Kristen got a pic of. I think there were waterspouts reported this day as we left Miami for Key Largo.
Another anchorage in Miami area.
Skippy with his second favorite chin rest. We miss him sooo much, but keep thinking he is sooo glad to not be here...
This was cool! We saw the Space shuttle launch from Miami. Sorry for the quick commentary, the Mosquitos are eating me up. Miss you all!

So good to hear your voice the other day, Ben! Doug and Janet brought Skipdog up last night and he's going to stay here with us now, he's out chasing squirrels in the woodpile now. Great pictures, thanks for posting them. Nothing else new here since we talked; we will remember to keep our Skypes on, hope to hear from you again! Love and Skippy kisses, Ma
Hey guys! Sounds like such an adventure. Wish I was catching big Mahi Mahi! Weather has been good here. We even hit 71 degrees last week. Doug says Kristen is sewing you guys a spinnaker. That's awesome. Maybe she can sew me some new boat seats when you get back. Hope everything is going well. Bri says she heard Skippy is doing great. He's probably happy to be back on land. Take care and hope to hear from you guys again soon. We all miss you. Love, Jess
Happy Easter !! Your pictures are really great-- the color of the water!1 and the size of that mahi mahi- I have heard forever of the Cayman islands,, the photos show it is really beautiful. Hope you get to Caye Caulker, a favorite- and again, thanks for the wonderful updates,, Love to both of you ,, Mary
