Sights, sounds and tastes of Key West

Our last night in Grenada with friends at the music jam at Taffy's (Hi Venessa!).

Chris and I arrived to our slip in Boca Chica Key at the Naval Air Station in Key West, Florida on November 11, 2018 after sailing from Grenada. The trip proved to be delightful with (mostly) great weather and enjoyable stops along the way in Bonaire, Curacao and Jamaica. I wrote an article about the trip for a local magazine and am asked to not publish the story on our blog until after the magazine prints it. So, that story will come later.

Grenada was our home for nearly six years and the Caribbean was our home for the past eight. We made lifelong friendships along that journey and look forward to seeing friends again. Now in a new home port, we're meeting people from the sailing and RVing life as well as Conch's (described as the first settlers and long time residents of Key West).

Enjoy our pictures and captions.
