Typically on the boat mornings are spent working, David changed the alternator belt, topped the batteries off with water, all the things that are necessary to keep a cruising sailboat in running order.  But afternoon's and evenings are reserved for fun.  So after the chores, we washed our shell collection from the Ten Thousand Islands ... they were starting to stink!

Then we took a walk along the waterfront, checking out some typical Key West scenery.  We'd love to take a sunset cruise on the America, modeled after the 1851 America's Cup winner "America", but $75 per person to sail for sunset seems really silly when you live on a sailboat!  Se la vie... just people watching in Key West is SO much fun!

Another sunset, even the pelicans are riveted watching!

Followed by Salsa Chicken for dinner, relaxing in the cockpit & hanging out.   Island music drifts across the harbor, from Jimmy to Bob Marley and more...  great place to hang out & wait for the wind to quit howling!  Until tomorrow when there will be another adventure!   We just have no idea what it will be ... yet... Life is an adventure, to make the most of it, we just need to enjoy every day!
