Mooring Ball B-12 - Boot Key Harbor

Today we pulled both anchors from the bottom of the west end anchorage, and motored down to B-12 mooring ball.  This will be our home for the next month, sort of....     
From the mooring ball we can leave anytime, for scuba diving the reefs at Sombrero,  or trips down to Key West, and be assured that we'll have a place to return to... (aka mooring B-12).    Pulling the anchors in the west end... and leaving... not knowing if there'd be room when we got back... just didn't seem like a good thing to do...  So we waited for the Mooring Ball.  

Anyway here's some pictures of Boot Key Harbor.... Sunsets, moonrises, parties, etc.   

Party on the Aft Deck with the Perkin's from the S/V Troubadour.

Moonrise over the anchorage.  Full and yellow.

Anchored in Boot Key Harbor (Marathon Key, FL)

We're anchored out in Boot Key Harbor at Marathon Key Florida  (Feb 27 into March 2010). 
We've purchaced a new laptop (by necessity)... so as soon as we figure out how to transfer some of the pictures (of late) to this HP laptop.... we'll post some... 
Until then this sunset picture, while moored at Dinner Key (Miami) will have to do....

Kelvin Jones was just here for two days...  visiting, and assisting us in our quest to purchase this replacement laptop...
I hope we didn't bore him to death...   He got a few tours of the harbor here, because it's about a mile or so dinghy ride to the City Marina office, and dinghy dock....  

Wind is still blowing about 12 to 18 knots.... but it's sunny, and nice outside...  the storm that as expected yesterday PM, while Kel was here, split as it came over Key West, and part went north, and part went south... and we ended up spending the day under mostly sunny skies...  COOL !!
