Day 10 - On The Hook

Rather than heading straight to Key West and paying for an additional day at the marina, we decided to hole up in a "nice" anchorage area along Newfound channel.



What we didn't realize was that the bottom was complete sand and our anchor wasn't designed for it.  After about ten tries to set the anchor we moved to another part of the channel and found a few rocks.

I dropped the anchor and she stuck.  It was windy and the current was fairly strong, so I got very little sleep.  Every time the boat slightly moved I woke up and checked.  In retrospect, we should have simply made it to Key West and paid the extra $150/night...  That's correct -- $150/night at the marina in Key West.  It better be good!
