Category: Key West

Key West, what a weird and fantastic place. The first time we visited was for Fantasy Fest several years ago. Talk about weird. But we had a great time. Jeff woke up one morning with pierced ears and pink toenails. Hmmm

Sailing to Key West on our own boat was special. We had a difficult time getting a slip in any of the marinas, so we tried to anchor. What a pain. So many boats, and so many captains telling us how hard it was to set the anchor. It took us over an hour to find a good spot and set it, but we weren’t happy about it. We wanted to enjoy everything Key West had to offer. And taking our dinghy (which was unreliable at the time) all the way through the anchorage, at night, after one or maybe many more cocktails was not ideal.

So, after two nights at anchor, I (Adrienne) waltzed in to one of the marina offices, batted my eyelashes and presented my best smile. A minute later, we were granted two nights on the fuel dock. SCORE!!!

We’ve been back to Key West a few times since then and love it every time. I’d even be ok visiting by car, but it wouldn’t be the same. There’s nothing like enjoying a night out on the Key West town and stumbling back to your boat, provided it’s in a marina.
