Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another very warm and sunny day.  Our usual Monday—Mike goes for donuts in the morning and shoes in the afternoon.  I got the cleaning done in the morning, with the added fun of defrosting the freezer.  Instead of happy hour tonight, we’re going to take a sunset sail aboard either the schooner America or the schooner Western Union.  Both are historic.  Schooner America won the 2011 Chesapeake Bay schooner race and the schooner Western Union was built in 1939 and was used to repair and maintain all the telegraph cable from Key West to Cuba and throughout the Caribbean.  It’s on the list of historic places and is the largest of the schooner fleet in Key West.  After our cruise we’ll probably have dinner at the Conch Republic Seafood Restaurant again.  It is so good!  85 today.
