Gilbert's

Happy Easter.  We have a dear friend Danny Evans who is a 2.4 sailor and member of the U.S. Sailing Team that lives in Miami.  After many emails we tied up to Gilbert’s, in Key West and located Danny, Hollie, many of his siblings and friends where we had lunch, laughed and looked at the Hobie Cats that they sailed from Shake-A-Leg / Miami, 40 NM. 


Diane had many questions;  How much food did they pack?  Where is the Fridge for the spirits/beverages?  Where is the head?  None were answered to her satisfaction


Mid afternoon it was time to depart and continue north.  
Our anchorage was at the edge of Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge, we saw lots of dolphins, a beautiful sunset and controlled fires on the mainland…..
To our dismay, we found the deck covered with black ash when we woke up in the morning.


Time to get out of here and move to Pumpkin key where we anchored right in front of Ocean Reef resort.  The Florida legislature is yet again trying to pass a law to control and restrict anchoring in the coastal waters. Let's hope this will never happen.
