Successful Circumnavigation!

.....of the southern tip of Florida. Back at our home port of Cape
Coral Florida. It was a great trip with a lot of scary moments and a
lot of energizing ones too. We all stepped up to things we didn't
know we could do. Try to get that from the a Hyatt resort.

Off Marco/Cape Romano

Landfall!

I know. This is a picture of the moon. But my iPhone can't seem to
focus on the lights of the coast this far out.

Everything turned pink

Post sunset.

Sunset on the gulf

Sun starting to set

Way out in the middle of nowhere.

Picked up some hitchhikers

About 150 miles offshore. I'll bet they were tired.

Leaving Key West

@ 10:30 am. Expect a 3am arrival in Cape Coral.

Hard Rock Cafe

Last dinner in Key West.

Sweet Key West Ride

Orange with white pokadots. Quite the head turner. At least Sophia
was happy.

Ernie's Place

The venerable Ernest Hemingway's home. Really interesting information
about his life and his adopted home town of Key West.

NOT a place to bring kids. They just aren't as interested in his
four wives or his beautiful yacht Pilar.

The Southernmost Point!
