New view from the aft deck.......
We spun the boat around to back into our slip so we could see out into the gulf when we sit on the aft deck, and also because the sun was too bright and hot every morning for breakfast on the aft deck. And there is always something interesting to watch here because the Key West shipping channel is between us and the Gulf of Mexico. I usually try to position the boat so we can see sunsets from the aft deck, but we have to walk into Key West to see full sunsets here anyhow.

Huge yachts leaving and entering the marina. This is about a 130 footer. Note the size of the 2 crew standing on the bow.

This one, entering the harbor, is a beautiful, 100 ft., all wooden "Trumpy" from about 1930 to 1940. Trumpy was a manufacturer of very high quality wooden boats in the 1930s. I just can't imagine the upkeep on this boat, plus worrying about the integrity of the wood structure in heavy seas. Beautiful....but no thanks!

DRUG BUST in Key West!
The U.S. Coast Guard caught a ship with something likke 165 kilos of cocaine. Then they brought this huge freighter (the big freighter behind the Coast Guard cutter) in to the Coast Guard dock. It's about 4 times as long as that Coast Guard boat. The locals here say they've never seen a ship that large at the Coast Guard dock and they're sure it must be one captured in the drug bust, but it turned out not to be, since we saw when it left that it's a U.S. Navy ship.
