Our trip to Marathon took us three sailing/motor days as we did not get much help from the wind gods. The first day we were hoping for a nice run down to the Little Shark River but lumpy seas and no wind made it slow going and we pulled into
Panther Key for a nice quiet night. We were the only boat in sight.The second day saw good sailing down to Little Shark in 6-9 knots of wind and similar boat speed. There was only one small Hunter at anchor when we came in but the anchorage added a few more boats by the evening. Wednesday was supposed to be a beam reach down to Marathon but the wind never came up and we ended up motor/sailing the last 48 miles.
80 DEGREES!! Water temp in the 70's!! Now we are talking much nicer!!
Our first night on the mooring ball in Boot Key Harbor. Now we just have to wait for Amy to show up in a couple of days.
