Brenda and Bill at lunch
Well, we are in Marathon. Tomorrow I will explore the fuel filters and see what the problem is. As far for today we headed down to Key West with Janice and Russ (my sister and her husband). Key West, in fact the entire Florida Keys are another world - absolutely laid back and very pretty. Attached to North America but similar in life style and attitude to a Caribbean island. We went down to Key West, and had a good lunch although it was somewhat slow. One of Janice and Russ's friends, Bill joined us for lunch. Bill spends some time in key West in the winter and showed us around after lunch. We didn't get out of there until around 3:00. It seems that every restaurant/bar and there are a lot of them has a Jimmy Buffet style singer. Jimmy Buffet himself has a restaurant/bar in Key West but we did not get to it this time.

After lunch we wandered around the town and the waterfront. There are some expensive rental properties and hotels in Key West although it would be an interesting place to explore for several days. The waterfront is filled with boats of all types, at the various marinas, anchored and on mooring balls. While there, I picked up a brochure on the a day trip to the Dry Tortugas which is about 70 miles west of Key West. The Dry Tortugas is a National Park with a old fort which was used during the Civil War by the Union as a prison. Unless the prisoners could swim a long way there was no hope of escape. I think we will head out there next Friday.

We left Key West around 5 and decided that we didn't need dinner so went back to the boat, watched TV and then bed.
