Life in the Keys


We're settling into a routine here in Marathon. Carol goes to a yoga class in the park three times a week, there are potluck suppers with the cruisers, a terrific white sand beach is a short dinghy ride away, and we plan to head out to the reef and do some snorkeling soon.

We had fellow cruisers Bill and Betti Neumeyer from Newburyport Mass over for a Pre-Christmas dinner last night. Prime Rib from our little oven. Dinner in the cockpit worked out fine with the decorations provided by a small Christmas tree loaned to us for the trip by Chris and Rob Skrotsky.

I have been attending a very good series of seminars on boat systems at Sea and Land Technology (SALT). They are covering electrical power management, solar and wind generation, refrigeration, battery maintenance and so on. Lots of interested attendees and I have picked up at least one tip that will make our boat safer.

If you are at 97 Ave. North stop in Atric Temp and tell my nephew Gene Cavanaugh or his wife Cathy that I said “Hello.” Gene is a former commercial fisherman and an avid sports fisherman and know the waters around Marathon well, he has lived there over 50 years.
