Before getting to Sealine Marina, guess who boarded my boat? Our Coast Guard. The girls got a picture posing with them, I was busy going thru safety equipment. Actually they were nice, but why being the coast guard do they were BLACK SOLE shoes????????
Any way arrived at sealine fueled up and docked at my slip.

You can't be in Key West without a stop at My Blue Heaven for breakfast, then back to the island and the races

I won't bore everyone with my race photos but take a look at the green marker and the dock, some boats were getting really close to both

Man, Looks like Gilberts was the place to be for the lunch stop. There were probably only 15 boats at our stop.

Thursday at Holiday Isle. We were trying to run with a bunch of the big cats and I think a lot of them went straight to KW. We were caught up in the moment and went about 30 miles past before we realized they weren't stopping.

When we saw the 7 Mile bridge we cut under and went gulf side in 2 foot chop ran 50 plus and cut back thru Vaca cut to the house.
