Day 185, February 11th, 2010
Weather forecast had changed again. Time to move to Marathon today as bad weather expected all weekend. So we dropped the balls around 7:30 and motored to Marathon. We were able to use the jib most of the day with the wind behind us. Quite cool. We were wearing fleeces and our all weather gear and glad of it! Who would have thought at this latitude!!

The pictures above were taken on the approach to Marathon. You have to go under "the 7 mile bridge" before turning NE again on the ocean side to go into Boot Key Harbour where Marathon is located. Its a beautiful bridge, just part of US1 that runs all the way down through the keys to Key West. It must be a beautiful drive along there!
We arrived around 1:00 and didn't have too much trouble finding a spot to park amongst the other boats in the anchorage. Very busy place!!! We went into the administration building as soon as we arrived to get our name added to the list - welll into the 20s!!!! Paid $135.00 for use of the dinghy dock, wifi, showers and laundry for a month. They will call us on the cell phone when a mooring buoy becomes available - you have 2 hours to respond before they call the next name on the list. After checking it all out we both agreed that staying here is going to be lots of fun.
It was a completely peaceful night - so quiet. We slept like logs!!
