Key West, Florida

We just returned from a week at Key West and West Palm Beach where we celebrated our 25th Anniversary. It was a terrific trip with very nice weather. Temperature was in the mid 80's F every day and we saw a lot of sun. Highlights of the trip included dinner at Sunset Key and sailing on the 60' schooner HINDU.
The HINDU hails from Provincetown, Mass and is owned by Kevin Foley who rescued her from scrap and completely restored her. The HINDU was built in 1925 and has been all over the world. We set sail at 5pm for a sunset sail. There was just Barb, me and 2 chaps from Bath, England along with Kevin and 3 crew. Conditions for sailing were great with the wind blowing 15-20 kts and temperature about 80 F. We made 9.5 kts and easily beat the other tall ships in speed.
