NO wind, NO waves to speak of today! We were cruising in the Atlantic Ocean with waves of about 1 to 2 ft. I trolled for fish for a while, but my lure got snagged on a fish trap and I had to cut the line to get loose. Oh, well....I've caught lots of other fish.
We left Key West today and went past these two huge cruise ships. Cruise ships have only been coming to Key West for about 10 years now, after Key West improved their channel and waterfront. Cruise ships draw about 25 ft. of water, so they need a channel more than 30 ft deep.

We have now started our trip up the East Coast of the country, but it will take until the end of May to reach New York City. Tonight we're back at Newfound Harbor, a very nice anchorage halfway to Marathon. We'll probably go to Marathon tomorrow and stay for a few days. After Marathon, it will all be new to us again.
