Living the Dream - Just the Beginning

Here we are, nestled in a slip in the Keys for a month with so much ahead of us to explore, new sights to see and new friendships to begin. After many years of careful planning and giving up all our landlubber possessions we are finally here, living on our boat, sailing to wherever we want to be. It's still amazing to me and seems a bit unreal. Everyday is a different adventure. Not every day is or will be a good day. There will always be unwelcome challenges to face. All we can hope for is that most days will be good. Fortune has been smiling on us lately as we've had a string of what's turned out to be good days. Today was among them. Sleeping a little later today we went out and explored Marathon a bit ending up enjoying a beer in a little place with a great view of the Boot Key Harbor Channel.

Tomorrow we will begin to do some needed work on the boat. A few things that we've been putting off till we got here. The forecast will be unseasonably cool in the high 60s the next couple of days so it will be a good time to work on the boat.

I'm sure we will enjoy our stay in Marathon. We're looking forward to exploring more of the Keys, especially Key West. Just the beginning of a continuous journey exploring new places and making new friends. Just the beginning - living the dream.
