We set sail from Key West for our trip back to Marathon on Thursday 1 March. Our celebratory farewell meal took place at the lovely 'Azur' restaurant on Grinell Street, just a short walk from the Old Seaport. It was the most delicious food we'd tasted since we'd been there...and we'd certainly tasted a lot, most of it deep fried! Just to be presented with a plate artistically filled with things green and/or fresh was a novel experience - and to be able to distinguish the mouth-watering taste of each delicious morsel was a rare treat!
The weather had been extremely hot during our visit, so much so that, for the very first time, we used our air-conditioning! It felt strange to resort to this on a sailboat open to the balmy breezes of the ocean, but for a few days the breezes seemed to blow from a hot oven rather than the ocean! So we closed up the hatches and breathed a sigh of relief and cool air.
