Arrived Great Harbour Cay Thursday

We left Key Largo on Tuesday and anchored near Pumpkin Key overnight. 

When we leave a marina, I follow John in the little boat, we hook it to the tow line,
then I climb into the big boat Navy Seal-style.


We went through Dusenbury Creek to get to Pumpkin Key. 
 
 
 



 
 
These people were fishing out of their kayaks
 
 
We headed to the Bahama Banks before sunrise Wednesday morning.
 
Heading out to the Atlantic

Sunrise over the Atlantic



The Key West (aka Pink Cadillac) towed very well.
 


Sunset Wednesday at Mackey Shoals

It was a 12-hour day, but we had to take advantage of the good conditions.

We anchored in 12 feet of water on the Mackey Shoals in the Bahama Banks. This is the anchor. It's like boating in a swimming pool.


Sunrise Thursday morning was spectacular. The water was smooth as glass.  



 
 
Sunrise looking West........
 
There was no demarcation line between the sea and the sky.
It was a blur of color.
 
 

 Captain Scruffy naps while I drive.
 
 
 JR made this rearview mirror so we can see what the Key West is doing. 
 
 

 
Will post again soon!
