Winterlude is on a distinguished road
Florida Keys

We did the same trip in November 2001. Our draft is 5''3". We did the Hawk Channel route and had no trouble -- it was gorgeous sailing and we were able to sail most of it.
We stopped in Marathon -- went under the 7 Mile Bridge and up the Moser Channel to
Ft. Myers. The only problem we had was somewhat poor planning in finding a place that we could get into with our draft in the evening. From Key Largo to Marathon, we did in one shot just because we weren''t confident about not running aground. Anchored outside of Boot Key Harbor in Marathon about 8 PM after leaving at first light. Long day, but very nice day.

Fair winds -- Jan
