Cruiser’s Net still says that seas to the south are pretty high, so we decided to leave Marsh Harbor and come to Man O’ War Key which has very protected anchorages. I had my virgin experience at hooking up to a mooring ball and did it right the first time! Yay, me! It is very quiet here. We walked the little town today – the temperature and especially the humidity are still very high – but we did need the exercise. Had a great lunch/dinner at Dock and Dine. One of their specialties is called their “Bag”. Your choice of chicken, chicken wings, cracked conch, or fried fish over your choice of French fries or peas and rice and covered with your choice of half wing sauce, half catsup or all wing sauce and wrapped in a “bag” of foil. OMG – it was SOOO good and it is probably a good thing that they don’t serve alcohol because I certainly had my week’s share of cholesterol in one meal!! We did have a little cocktail back on the boat, after a swim in the harbor because you can only use the pool if you are paying big bucks for the marina. No problem! Most of the people here are moored, so there is a lot of dinghy traffic. Sue, Dave, our neighbor has a fold-a-boat! Do you have yours with you just in case there is a place to use it?
We paid for two nights here, so Saturday we will see what the forecast brings. My guess is that we will head north back around to West End. NOAA forecasts an easy crossing for Monday and Tuesday, so that is currently our plan.
