No name harbour

At anchor in "no name harbor" just a few miles before Miami. We are enjoying a drink at the waterside cafe while Le reve is lying at anchor in the back ground.

Tomorrow will take us through Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Miami in sight

Today (March 26th) we traveled to Miami.
The picture shows Miami as we approach from the Biscayne Bay.

At anchor in Marathon

After Key West we were anchored out in Marathon, and we saw this boat coming in the anchorage. As it turned out it was a Kadey Krogen with a hull number just before our boat.

We stayed in Marathon for a couple of days before moving further north.

The "Key" Chicken

Key West is known for it's many banty (chickens) running wild every where.

Some people love them, and others hate them. Especially the store keepers are tired of the deposits they leave on their doorsteps .

Earnest Hemingway home

One of the sights we took in while in Key West was the Key West home of Ernest Hemingway. He did most of his works from this home, but lived in Cuba longer than in Key West. It was very interesting tour.

Cruise ships in Key West

Here is the picture of the cruise ship in Key West.

For some reason it did not make it on the blog on a previous posting.

Key West in sight

As we approached Key west the first thing we saw was the giant cruise ships which almost daily visit Key West.
You can see how they dwarf the high rise condos to the right of them.

We arrived in Key West on Monday March the 19th. That evening we welcomed aboard Herman and Frea. The next day we took a tour of Key west, and visited amongst other sites the Ernest Hemingway house. Here in Key West he did most of his writing.

We left Key West on Wednesday morning on route to Marathon. The winds were blowing quite hard, and we encountered seas of 6 to 8 feet. The Le reve took them in stride, and we arrived in Marathon around 3.30 pm.
