Hi from Key West! A busy, energetic place! We hung out in the Dry Tortugas for a few days. Will post some photos later. Lots of bird life. The turtles were just beginning to arrive to lay their eggs. A beautiful place except for that huge fort the boys built in the 1800's!! What in the world were they thinking!!!??

We leave tomorrow for Marathon and then on to the Bahamas.

You'll not believe who we ran into our first night anchoring here! Finished anchoring, surveying the boats around us and.....there was "Good Medicine" from Missoula/Dayton!! Bill and Patty sitting right next to us! (They are sailing friends from the Flathead, for those of you who don't know them.) We went into town and ran into them in a matter of minutes! Has been great fun to catch up with them and their travels! It is a small, small world! They're on their way to the Bahamas as well so hope to see more of their familiar faces.

It's been great to hear from everyone! More later.....
