Home Again in Key West

It's good to be "home" for the winter. After a second day of downwind spinnaker racing with Sand Castle, we arrived at Boca Chica with fog horns blaring and friends waiting to take our lines as we approached the dock. Just as the snowbirds left one by one in the spring, so we we return in the fall. Cocktails and conch blowing began on a Monday as the first returnees arrived. We sailed in from Boot Key on a Wednesday, and by Friday, there were 17 of us enjoying the sunsets over the marina once again. We celebrated with the Vetrans Day parade and a happy hour at Kellys. Happy to be here.
