We crossed under the bridge at Marathon mid-day after another great weather day. Calm waters, light breeze and sunny skies. We tied up on a mooring ball in Boot Key and took the dinghy onto shore to get an early dinner at a restaurant where, according to the harbormaster, the locals eat. We had lobster reubens while sitting by the water. After we dinghyed around the harbor until sunset. No bugs tonight. Life is good.

Tomorrow we head to our slip in Key West. Our son Skyler is flying in on Thursday to spend a week with us. Guess we have been cutting it kind of close as far as our trip planning but we have kept our eye on the weather and saw that we did not need to rush to get there. We will be in the Keys for the month of January.
