We left Key Largo around 9:00 am and arrived to Coco Plum Beach in Marathon around 3:30 pm. The boat ride to Marathon was in very shallow water on the bay side of the keys so we cut across to the ocean side to a waterpath called Hawk's Channel for the last fifteen miles of our trip. The weather was in the 80's and the breezes off the water felt good. This is the last leg of our trip. Marathon is our final destination. We are renting a boat slip there from Scott Kaczynski, a fireman, with the City of Wilmington.
We got into our assigned slip (#22) at Coco Plum Beach Marina very easily. Norman, the dockmaster, was a great help. Noel, is our neighbor on the port side of our boat and the sailboat on the starboard side, well, no one is at home.
Our afternoon was filled with tying off ropes and hanging fenders to protect the sides of the boat. The marina is small and everyone has Tiki Huts set up on the small sections of land beside the boat walks. I think we're going to like it here!
I will post a blog on a weekly basis due to making land-ho!
Happy Boating.
