Marathon in the Middle Keys

We never thought we would have spent so long here in Marathon, but this is a hard place to leave.  Some people arrive planning to spend a few months and are still here several years later.  We do not intend to spend that long here, but we have been waiting for the right weather to cross the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean to the Bahamas.  Don’t forget this is still winter and there are many cold fronts with strong winds that pass through although the temperatures are in the 70’s and 80’s.  Many of our friends that we traveled with on the Sail Rally are here as well and it is so hard to leave them. We wanted to share all the beautiful pictures we have collected not only ours but others to prove how hard it is to leave Marathon.
