| Yakmando happy to hit the beach (finish line) at Key Largo |
Relaxing on the (currently windy) beach is the thing to do for those who have arrived. SandyBottom reported this morning that she is well and rested. SOS is helping her clean and dry her gear. For lunch they headed next door to Mrs. Mac's Kitchen --the best restaurant in all of Key Largo is just a short walk from the finish line there at the Bay Cove Motel and Pelican Motel. And key lime pie. Wow!

Of the stormy crossing yesterday, Santiago noted that "Santiago felt much better knowing SandyBottom and TideTraveler were at his side. Those two are awesome! Eh, 45 mph winds? No problem."
No doubt SandyBottom was glad to have TideTraveler and Santiago with her. The three crossed Florida Bay literally side-by-side on purpose because as SandyBottom explained, if one boat ever got slightly ahead or behind the other boats then the high winds would have made assisted rescues almost impossible due to separation of the boats.
