Naples to Key West 11/7
 
We are taking our boat from Naples to Key West Nov 7th for the races and returning on Monday the 11th. Anyone else heading down for the races from the West Coast of FL that wants to run together?

I have a small group leaving Marco Island at 10 AM on Thursday 7th. You are welcome to join us. We meet just outside the the Marco River. We will go via Marathon and make a stop at Lazy Dayz for lunch before going on to Key West. Travel speed is usually around 50 - 55 MPH. Let me know if you intend to join us. On the return, we leave Key West for Marco at 9 AM Monday. Usually a straight shot unless weather dictates coastal via Marathon. Arrive back on Marco before noon.

CC to Marco Island is about 1 hr 20 minutes. Marco - Key West straight shot is 100 miles so that leg is a 2 hr ride. If going via Marathon is 35 miles longer and with a lunch stop will add time to the trip.

Hey Bob it's been a while! I certainly may take you up on it but am not taking StillCrazy, I have a Fountain 38lx for the family😀. I normally cruise from 40-50mph depending on the conditions so may just lag behind a bit. Took it to Elbow Cay in the Abacos this summer before it got destroyed by Dorian😔. Should be in for the ride home Monday as well! Will confirm by this weekend.
