Things looked every bit as good Wednesday morning by the ...
...

... light of the rising sun.
...

To get back to Eustis by Thursday around mid-day, we had to leave Key West by
not much after noon today. So we did our sailor's duty and headed down ...
...

... to the harbour.
...

At least one sentry was on duty.
...

A busy spot!
...

And Turtle Kraals was just the place for a good morning cup of coffee.
...

The Crabby Crew, who will helm this weekend but refused to lend me his shirt, joins those ...
...

... taking pictures.
...

Ah! Indeed, it was ...
...

... a lovely ...
...

... sight on this winter's morning.
...

Key West even has a "campus" of the J School.
...

A bit to the east of the marina, things are ...
...

... a tad less crowded.
...

Suckers for a good name that we are, we went in search of The Hogs' Breath Saloon which turned out to be right near ...
...

... this interesting building.
...

At the Hog's Breath, we enjoyed their surprisingly good house brand of beer in their lovely open-air bar
where Marc discovered a promo for Appleton Estates Rum to which his family is somehow connected.
...

Alas, the license plates reminded us we still had long day's drive back to Eustis ahead of us. After three enjoyable hours and a lovely waterside lunch while traversing the Keys, we slogged our way past Miami and its urban sprawl. It was well after dark by the time we bedded down in Fort Myers, only a couple of hours from Eustis where we now hoped not to be useless!
