8 February -- Day #66. We still plan to spend time visiting Key West, but we've decided 'Nellie D.' is quite comfortable here at the dock in Boca Chica for 1/5 the price. After studying the charts and talking with fellow cruisers, we decided to navigate the short distance in the shallow waters with the dinghy to see Key West. We quickly abandoned that plan today when our dock neighbors offered to take us on a tour of Key West in their car. We spent the day with Hank and Ann, 'Queen Ann's Revenge' as our guides. There wasn't an area of the Key we missed, we now know where to find best restaurants, where to take walking tours, and where to find the favorite cruisers' haunts. We celebrated our arrival at Mile 0, the most southern point of the US, with a conch sandwich at the famed Bo's Restaurant. At the Boca Chica Naval Air Station marina. 0 nm today and 1582nm total. BJH
