Ship's bLog-Key West 4/15/11

Ship's bLog Tax Time and Key West Time are you ready for a long weekend??? it's actually after midnight 12:05 EST and everyone survived taxes. Now, pack up those bags me mateys, and drive, hitch hike or get a bus or plane even a ferry boat from Ft. Myers and make a cool change for a long weekend.

We love to get folks on the boat the first and third night then take them overnight the second night, after they have gone to Schooner Wharf, walked off the stress, heard a few crooners sing the blues and after a morning Cuban coffee, gather up the provisions and take off to an overnight at anchor, then spoil them after a day of exploring a sandy uninhabited beach, dinner we cook for them under the stars. Sounds like a movie set? We have reasonable rates when you break it all down. If you want a romantic getaway, this is the best ever. But if you have another couple and they share the costs, it's better than eating out somewhere else on the island. We ask what you want to eat, fish, shrimp or meat, shop for you, and then for 24 hours noon to noon on the second day, take you out to explore, sail, even fish away from it all, away from the accountants, the bosses, the noises, sirens, all that stuff that makes you tense.

How do we do it? For the WildThing, 44 ft Morgan, we offer it for $395/night or our Obsession, 37 ft. O'Day, both are based on double occupancy (this is at the docks - you also have AC ad electric plus can cook) we provide linens, towels, some basics for the heads/bathrooms. Second couple sharing the other cabin? Just add another $90 per night. If you stay at anchor, we shop for you and a captain and a mate work at your beckon and call. After at sea overnight, they will cook breakfast, coffee and launch setting sail for a reef and swim,with lunch en route you leisurely make your way back to the docks and hang out relaxing the third night.

Of course you can tell us if you have something else in mind.

Capt. Chris and Frenchy have caught dinner appetizers lately - "oh need something else on the plate?" splash 'here is a lobster' haha the ocean is a great place to have stories when you come back home. Dolphins and pink flamingos are being sighted daily.

Call Captain Albert if you want to get married he is now an ordained minister and former president of Toastmasters so you have no excuse; we can put together a very fun inexpensive wedding; we did it ourselves - got married on Wild Thing.

So what's your reason for not joining us in April, May or June?

call 305 304 4911 between 9 am - 9pm EST.....

That's it for the night watch for me, until next time, set your course and let go those life lines, time to be free.
