Key West Thanksgiving






































The 1st pic of the water is the entrance to the channel where the marina we moved to is located.

We went over to Blue Heaven for brunch. You don't have to die to get there but you will think your in heaven when you taste their food. I had Lobster Benedict and Karen had Shrimp Grits with Banana Bread.
Finally got over to Smathers Beach. KW is not known for it's beaches but it has a nice one. The sunset pic looks like it could be in Hawaii.

Karen finally got to do her first Craft Show since we left Clear Lake. It was at a church and they only had about 30 booths. Mostly local people attended. It wasn't located in the tourist areas. We got to meet some local people and some vendors. They served a great Spaghetti dinner including a salad and desert after the show for only $7.

We moved the boat over to Key West Harbour Yacht Club. It's on the Atlantic side of KW. 3-5 foot seas that Karen did not like them from the beam. Especially the 5 footers. But we made it here safe and love this marina. Heated pool, private beach, bar and restaurant with Chef. Park right next to your slip. Very protected and most importantly at this time of year Cable TV. No English speaking TV stations come in down in KW, except a local one that just has advertisements for bars & restaurants, no real programming. Did I mention NO FOOTBALL!
One month without TV. I did it! Definitely would need a satellite dish for an extended period away from TV reception. Definitely did not realize who much I would miss it.
Lots of expensive yachts in this marina. Not like the city marina. But 3 miles further away from Duval St than the city marina. We rode our bikes back to city marina to pickup the truck.

Met the corporate council for Hard Rock Cafe by the Sothernmost Hotel pool and he and his best friend treated us to dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.
Another night we met Louise and her Mom from Los Angeles and Boston. We played tour guide and had a great time with them.
The pic of the house is one that we heard the tour train telling people it had been on Martha's Living and Crate and Barrel magazine covers.
