Boca Chita Key, Florida

Ahhhhh! Now this is more like it!

After all the work fixing, provisioning and preparing for this trip, we are ready for some R&R time, and this is certainly one of our favorite places.
We are in Boca Chita Key, awaiting the arrival of the rest of the flotilla and a suitable weather window to cross to the Exumas, Bahamas, which looks like  Monday, 15th November.
This key is part of the Biscayne National Sea Park, just south of Miami, and was once owned by the founder of Honeywell, who dug out the harbour to accomodate the lauches and boats of friend who visited. After an accident where his wife fell, and later died from complications, he abandoned the island. Today, the Key is protected and part of the National Parks.
So here we sit enjoying wine & gin therapy while we wait for Lamb Chop, Toucan Dream, RSVP and the weather window.
