 Going around a key on Atlantic Side
 Bird off State Park just on Atlantic Side of bridge. Dropped mast with block and tackle to get under. Would not have done if sea was not as calm.
Alligator Reef and Light House, moored off light and snorkeled. The wave swells were very steep and did not stay long because was getting sea sick, first time had that happen. The coral and fish are great at this location.
 Water was very clear.

 Water is clear and blue

 Alligator Reef Light
 Downwind run about 16 knots of wind very easy sailing


Marathon City Marina, Very clean and well run, spending night after three days on the HOOK.









Spending another two days here till wind dies, real hardship but thats  life.
