Bed Race Redux

Day #8: Not much cruising to talk about today--unless you'd like to hear about fixing myriad pilothouse screw holes with bungs? No? Thought not.

The winds are still up. The boat next to us had been in Palm Beach waiting for a weather window. Like us they decided to cruise to Key West rather than just sit around waiting. The weather still doesn't look promising for another week.

Yesterday I mentioned that we saw some bed racers. Today's picture shows one of the teams shortly after crossing the finish line. Are flip flops what serious athletes are wearing now?

In the Key West Naval Air Station Marina. 0nm today and holding at 195nm for the trip. DBH
