Dec 9: Grassy Key to Key West
After a nearly sleepless night (anchor dragging etc.) I weighed anchor at 5:00 this morning and enjoyed a swift, 6+ knot sail to Key West, arriving around 1:30. I anchored northwest of Wisteria Island in about 17 feet of water and set about taking care of some logistics.
I made a water and fuel run, then another to do laundry. I had thought it might me nice to go to the grocery store as well, but ran out of time. I instead ate a greasy burger and will go for groceries in the morning.
There is actually a fair amount of material out there from which I could probably have crafted a pretty interesting account, but as I am dead tired, and still have plenty of work to go, I'm going to settle for this matter-of-fact recounting of my day.
I still need to do some weather research, but I would anticipate sailing tomorrow some time. There is talk of northerlies, so it may make sense to wait a day, but that all remains to be investigated.
