Day 1 - KEYS TRIP - WE ARE OFF - 6/11/11 - 0710 departure from NSB. No current probably the best cast off to date. Cereal, oj and coffee breakfast. Fighting some outgoing tide as we headed South making 4.5 - 5 kn. Good weather partly cloudy with variable wind and hot. Turkey sandwiches at lunch and lots of water and gatoraide throughout day. PM - wind became on shore breeze from East at 10-15 which provided a glorious motor sail to Eau Galle. Hit 7.2 kn at 1600 rpm - great! Anchored 1734 in East wind 10-15 off Pineapple Pier - Eau Galle NW side of bridge. Good holding but had to let out plenty scope. 1st day 55.2 miles - Sundowners - G&T time deserved.
