7/21: Today we left for Big Pine key. We only had about 90 miles to travel and we expected it to take something like 3 and a half hours. But of course nothing went as planned and i believe it took us something like 6 hours to get there, but the ride was very nice other then us having to hop over every ten minutes and clear out the jet intake because it was clogged with a bunch of seaweed and stuff. We also accidentally passed the canale for Captain Bobs house and went all the way around Big Pine Key. We made it to Bob’s around 6 and went to No name pub for dinner that night. I had wings and some really good chili. Tomorrow we would go with what the day brought us because it was supposed to rain on and off.

7/22: Today we made the best of the day and messed around with the key deer and went fishing. I was actually able to get the key deer up on its hind legs if i had a piece of Fruit in my hand:

We just hung out today around the house other than that but we had a ton of fun. Captain Bob made dinner for us that was really good and after that we called it a night.

7/23:

Today we decided that we would make the last 30 mile push to Key West.  We met up with the Roller’s and hung out on the beach for a half hour and let the kids ride around on the skis. We were watching a storm roll in and decided that it was time to boogie and make the push. We rode through about 3 feet of water for an hour and had to hop over multiple times to clear out the intake grates. After a little more riding, we finally made it to key west and managed to throw dads ipad to someone on shore to take a picture of us. But, when we got the ipad back, somehow water got in to it and it fried the ipad.

About 15-20 minutes later we were at our dock and were already unloading our skis. We got settled in at the room took showers and went out to watch the sunset and all of the street performers. We then had a great dinner and then relaxed for the rest of the night. Tomorrow we will bring the skis to the boat ramp and lift them out and get on the road.

Over and Out.
