Not to hijack this thread, but, as we'll be coming that way *sometime*
(the target keeps moving), if we were to cross at Key West, what would
be the best landing point to check in, get some fuel, and start a
Bahamas stay (tour) of a year or so (and GTC is one of the must-see
spots, as a sistership lives there)?

We're considering the relative merits to Marathon, with its lousy
approach, and Key West, with its much longer sail...

Thanks.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely
nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing,
messing-about-in-boats; messing about in boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter,
that's the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never
get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to
do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
