Key West

These are pictures of this huge, privately owned sailboat that was tied up at the city dock. If you click on the picture of the fact sheet you'll see her dimensions. We figure that the wench pictured below is worth more than our sailboat and there were several of them!!! The picture of the deck area is only 1 of 3 entertaining areas. She has a permanent crew and when we walked by they were all hard at work polishing the shiny stuff. What a life.

One of the several schooners operating out of Key West Harbor.

A cannon from the wreck of the Senora de Atoche wreck. It was salvaged by Mel Fisher and Spain is still trying to claim the entire cargo. He had a decade long battle with the US and state of Florida. It is a very interesting museum.

Bars of gold also from the same wreck.

Yep, we made it. The line was very long so we looked and left.
