Key West is pretty much a sailor's paradise and party town. The only downside for sailors is when a strong cold front blows through which requires sailors to figure out where and how they will keep their boat in place. Otherwise, the winter temperatures and humidity are near perfect. No need for blankets or air conditioning. The wind blows from the east most every day. The beer flows freely in many, many bars and restaurants. The people, both locals and visitors, are almost always in good spirits and a party mood. The prices are typical for a tourist site but not excessive. What's not to like.

Sue and Rivah had a good time in Key West. We went ashore every day and toured around both the Navy recreation area and downtown Key West. The dog park could use a little sprucing up but was still a fun time.

There was plenty of time for relaxing onboard. The only interruptions to days of balmy tradewinds relaxing were the jet ski tours which went every two hours during the day.
From our anchorage area it was a bit of a trip by dinghy to downtown Key West, but still only 15-20 minutes at full throttle. We had a great time touring the waterfront and sampling the restaurants and sights.
On our way back from downtown to the boat, we saw a sight that encapsulates what Key West is all about. Here is the real, modern Key West today. This is the way to celebrate your holiday in Key West.
