Boggy Key Anchorage - 3/7/11

We pulled out of Burdine's Marina at 8:30 a.m. in order to meet Skip & Barb on Hawk Channel in an hour at Key Colony. They were also leaving at the same time in order to go to a marina for a pump out then on to Hawk Channel. We traveled about 2 hours in the Atlantic Ocean before turning into Channel 5 and back into Florida Bay and joined the ICW. Beside passing thru several areas of verrry skinny water with mud flats on each side of the boat, we dodged what seemed like millions of crab traps. We pulled into our anchorage near Key Largo (Boggy Key
N 25 07.918 W 80 25.910) at 3:30 p.m. having traveled 60 miles today. The anchorage is about 8 ft deep and you can see the chain and anchor laying in the grassy bottom it is so clear. There are 8 to 10 boats in this spot. After Pizza with the Johnson's we watched a few episodes of Glee and turned in to bed. We could only get 2 channels on TV and both were Spanish speaking so we had to resort to DVD's.
