March 4-7, 2008 . . . Key West to Fort Lauderdale

Departure from Key West as the sun came up, we traveled with LUCKY STAR. The water was relatively calm as we traveled mostly east to Marathon . . . a southeast sea 1-3'.


One night in Marthon then on to Key Largo where we docked at Key Largo Marina Del Mar to meet with looper friends first met in Portsmouth, then again in Deltaville, and then many times along the loop to Florida.


A nice dinner was enjoyed with our "looper" friends, Bob and Jan (LUCKY STAR), and Howard and Diane (C HORSE).


The special occasion was Bob and Jan's 32nd wedding anniversary . . . so we had to share a great dessert.


Due to pending stormy weather the 7th had us out of Key Largo early, NNE on the Atlantic to Angelfish Creek Cut into Biscayne Bay. Miami was soon in view.


Large condos and beautiful homes line the intercoastal waterway. We finally turned off into the New River at about mile marker 1065 . . . we are 1065 miles from mile marker "zero" which is located there on the Norfolk waterfront at Hospital Point, between Waterside and the Portsmouth Naval Hospital.
