KW - March 9 Day of Fun

This Saturday I woke up to an absolutely gorgeous day!  Crystal clear skies, temps in the mid 70's, and a slight breeze that just begged me to be outside.  I made some coffee and sat on porch reading a Hemmingway novel, when a thought occured to me.  My friend Josh had mentioned sailing today, earlier in the week.  I sent him a text to see what his plans were and sure enough her was still looking to sail in the afternoon.  This was beginning to look very promising!  I was planning to meet Brad at Vito's for lunch and to hangout with Rich, the bartender, so I threw an invite to Josh and we all planned to just meet there.  Here are some pics of Rich and Brad at Vito's outdoor bar!  It is really chill spot and they have the best pizza on Key West!! 
 


Josh met up with us a little after 1pm.  On my way to Vito's I ran into Erin and Tim.  I invited both of them to lunch and to go sailing.  Tim was working but Erin was very excited about sailing.  After finishing up lunch with the guys we headed for the dinghy docks and I called Erin to arrange a meeting location.  We all loaded up into Josh's 9' dinghy and headed out of the marina.  He moors his boat about a mile out of the marina.  Here are some shots of us leaving the marina and headed out to the boat!

Boat leaned way over!!  Great wind!!



Brad was all smiles, but hung on for dear life most of the trip!! LoL

And the sails are back tied and we were back on the mooring!!  I could have stayed out forever!!  So peaceful quiet!  I can not wait to go and do this again!!  Thanks again Josh, for the awesome trip!
