Key West

 I was given the gift of luxury for a weekend for my birthday.  When we're cruising, luxury means a steady source of power from a dock and a rental car.  This time I had both.  We sailed down to Boca Chica, part of NAS Key West, and took a slip for three day.  I arranged a rental car to get around and do some serious shopping of items too heavy to get back to the boat via bikes.  Best of all, two couples that we were friends with during our first tour on Okinawa were able to join us.  A great time was had by all, I hope.  Demaris and Kelly spend their winters in Key West so they know the best spots to visit that aren't on the regular tourist route and overcrowded.


This eclectic bit of whimsy is from this marina's 
resident lounging area.  The table is made of old machine parts.
The tall sculpture is just art.

On the second level of the landing is an old
bank vault.  Supposedly the owner's hurricane
shelter.  The pillars holding up the porch are unique too.

Bananas in the making.

This guy is old car/truck parts.

This Chinese style junk is amazing.  We have also
seen it up in the Pensacola area too.

Another view of the boat owner's area.
