Boot Key Harbor, Marathon, FL MM1195 Mooring Ball # N-9
LAY DAY
Weather: Sunny and Hot! Winds have dropped to the 10 to 12 knot range
Comment: It’s departure day and we have lots to do to get the boat ready for a three week lay up. After a quick breakfast at McDonalds, we set about removing the bow nets. They need re-stitching again! We repaired the dinghy floor board supports, cleaned the refrigerator, and removed the freezer and dinghy motor, both of which will be dropped off for service. By 1300 hours, the tasks were completed, the car was loaded and we were underway for Fort Lauderdale International Airport for of 2000 hour departure for Atlantic City aboard Spirit Air.
Along the way, we stopped for a late lunch at Snook’s in Key Largo. The establishment is frequented by cruisers. The anchorage seems protected for everything but strong north winds.
We arrived at the airport at 1730 and enjoyed our two and one-half hour flight to Atlantic City. As we departed the terminal, we were greeted by rain and a temperature of 36 degrees. It was 83 degrees when we departed Marathon at 1300 hours.
