A good friend of my girlfriends is about to move to Key West and she wants to go visit. So I'm thinking as long as we're going, might as well go in Nov for the races and when all big name boats will be in town.

Any recomendations on where to stay? Where's all the action at? On the water or on duvall st? Is there enough going on that week that I won't be bored and aggravated that I don't have my boat down there? Never been so any and all advice is appreciated.

You'll have fun either way. Plenty to do and see. That's a great week to be there. But you will be having withdrawals if you don't have a boat to go on. If the girlfriends friend if female and hot, I know a guy with a 38 Top Gun that will be there, somebody may be able to score a ride....

The girlfriends hot, the friend... not so much.

Stay near Duval, but not on it if you want to get any sleep.
Trueman Annex is close to the races and Duval Street.
I always rent a house/condo. Here's a good ite to start searching:

prep your liver and for places to stay you can also look here www.athomekeywest.com I rented a house from them with a pool about 3 blocks from duval very easy to deal with.

Which end of Duvall or is it all good? What about the races and marinas, what side of the island are they on? Is Old Town a good location?

Humm.... Looks like you're going to need some launch ramp information then too...

Were staying at the Pilot House on Simonton about 1/2 block off Duval close to the Irish Kevin's, Starbucks and the races.

Aw c'mon. She's got a nice rack, if you can shut the lights off and get her to shut her trap it wouldn't be too bad.

Well, I think I know a way to get her to shut up... Is this a one martini date or six???
