On Saturday, June 28, Bill, Kathy, Stephanie & Billy toured the Florida Keys. We started in Key Largo, with stops in Islamorada and Marathon, seeing many points in between on our 102 mile journey to Key West. Once there, we stood on the Southern-most point of the continental United States.

5 miles off shore we jumped off a perfectly good catamaran, into the warm waters of the Atlantic.

Welcome to Key West!



This bridge, near Marathon, was blown open by F16 missle fire during the movie True Lies.

Ernest Hemingway's 1933 fishing boat, Pilar, in Islamorada.


Billy was found taking a break inside this Mini Cooper......


Then he hallucinated he was fishing with Hemingway!




And he wanted to swim with the giant Tarpon.


This is our tribute to our sister ship, Paparina. If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.

On Sunday, we celebrated Stephanie's sweet SIXTEEN!

Happy Birthday Steph. NICE FISH
