Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Probably our last nice day for a while, since it’s supposed to turn cold tomorrow or Sunday.  So, we headed down to Key West.  Our first stop was the Eco Center where there’s a special art exhibit on display.  Then we parked over at the Westin garage and walked around Key West harbor for a while.  There’s a 170 ft. sailing yacht in residence.  A beautiful thing.  I think it’s sloop rigged with two masts, a jib, and two bow sprit sails.  Would love to see this under sail.  There was also a luxury motor yacht docked—both with Bahamian registry.  Had lunch at Le Meson de Pepe and then headed home.  A lot of traffic in Key West.  Race Week is just winding down, there was a cruise ship in, and they’re setting up for an art show this weekend.  Was glad to get back to the relative peace and quiet of Lazy Lakes.  Low 80s today.  

This beautiful yacht is stunning with it's dark blue hull and beautiful mahogany everywhere.


No shoes on the boat!

Those masts must be 170 ft. tall!

I had snapper for lunch.  Mike had a Cuban sandwich.

A chicken stopped by our table.

Race week is just winding down.  There are a lot of store fronts around town dedicated to repairing/making sails.




THE SINKING WORLD

I love the art on display at the Eco Center.  The artist, Andreas Franke, photographs sunken ship wrecks and then superimposes another picture taken with posed models.  I believe this wreck is the Vandenberg, sunk just off Key West. 

This is my favorite--a ballet rehearsal.  Hard to get a decent picture.
