| Okay - maybe I'm taking this "laid back" way of life a little too far....... |

| One beautiful sunset |

 |
| Pulling the whaler behind NautiNell I know I said we'd never do that again but it turned out okay this time |

| Sombrero Beach - on a beautiful day |
On the morning of November 1 at about 10:30 we
were finally on our way to Marathon. It
was a short day and the water was like glass.
We did go by way of the ICW, but we could have easily gone outside. We kind of wish we had because of all the crab
traps! Luckily we made it through the “mine
field” without any incidents. We made it
to Sombrero Marina about 3:30. We settled
in our slip – had cocktails - and welcomed ourselves to our new home for the
next three months or so.
The next morning we unloaded our bikes and the
scooter. We’ve definitely moved in
now. We took the scooter for a ride and
did some sightseeing. Sombrero Beach is
only about 2 miles away from us. The
local Publix is just down the block. We
had dinner at the Dockside Lounge here at the Marina. i just love the atmosphere here in the Keys - so laid back - it's easy to catch the "Keys Disease"!
We’ve spent the last few days getting settled
in – cleaning the boat, etc – after all, this will be our home for the
winter. We are enjoying the sunsets here
and getting to know the locals. In a few
weeks some of our boating buddies, aka “Loopers” should be arriving. It will be really good to hang out with them
this winter.
Definitely more to come…..
Till next time!
