Day 91 February 4 Monday

Yeah! Arrived in Key West around 2 PM and found a place to anchor the boat. We decided to anchor out due to the distance from the harbor to the mooring field. If you anchor in a mooring field there is a nightly charge and you have use of all the facilities, if you anchor the marina will let you use the facilities for a charge (laundromat, showers/restrooms, etc). We anchored out closer to the city unloaded the dink and got the boat cleaned up and headed into town to the city laundromat. I got the clothes started and Steve went to get some things we needed for the boat. It was in one of the older building in Key West and had high ceilings and plenty of folding tables to work with. The prices were good and i had a ton of laundry to wash. Blankets, linens, clothes, towels, and whatever else got dirty and wet. You would have thought i was moving in. πŸ™‚ Steve had to go back to get the other bag of clothes out of the dinghy/dink. While i put in a wash Steve suggested we get something to eat, so we went to Turtle Kraal where our dinghy was tied up. (the dock costs 6 dollars and there were at least 30 dinghy”s tied up there). We sat down and the waiter gently put his hands on our shoulders and pushed us back inour chairs and said, “RELAX”. We were so tense from no rest and dodging crab pods we did not realize how tight we were. We leaned back and enjoyed our meal, headed back to laundromat and I finished clothes while Steve shopped. After we got back and got our clothes put up we got dressed and headed to see city. There are so many neat places in Key West but we stopped at one that had great music and a lot of people. Don’t even remember the head. Back to the dinghy and our ride through the huge yachts. There is one on the other side of the channel that has a helicopter on it. Back top sleep for one more day in key west.
