This is a blog for followers of John & Beth Shaw as they attempted to sail a 34' 1995 Gemini 3400 from Savannah, GA to the Bahama's, the Caribbean, and other exotic locations. Sailing concluded in 2011 after an extended trip to Mexico and back. Now the blog is for our adventures "at home" until we set out again in our RV. The blog is linked from bethandjohn.com

Sunday - Key West Florida
Needless to say we all slept in pretty late, I think I was out until 9am. Catie didn't get up until noon and Beth and Cocoa slept until 3pm. I managed to get a few things tidied up around the boat but the main task was laundry. Key West Bight has 4 washers and dryers but each cycle takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes and I wasn't able to use all the machines as there were others who decided Sunday was laundry day. It took about 3 hours to get it done. The rest of the day was spent writing the novel from the crossing, catching up with family and friends and watching Fast and Furious 5. We ordered Pizza Hut delivered to the boat and overall relaxed. We decided we will depart Key West on Tuesday morning headed to Marathon where we will stay docked for several days while we travel via rental car up to Tampa to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and family. That visit could be interesting all by itself as we will be taking the dogs with us and they have a dog, 2 if not 3 cats, a skunk, a prairie dog, and there may be a snake or lizard there too.
