NEW EPISODE!
https://youtu.be/PqnTQyLcjsI S7E6-GREAT LOOP 2-Leg 35-Marathon Key, FL to Key Largo, FL After a month-long stay at Marlin Bay Marina in Marathon Key, it’s time to move on! We make the roughly 70-mile trek up the Keys to Key Largo, where we’ll spend the night and decide whether conditions are right to make the crossing to the Bahamas tomorrow.

We don't really know where we were going to end up. After heading out into the Gulf of Mexico from Venice Beach, we cruise south along Florida’s Gulf Coast, eventually finding a very cool marina for the night. Getting into the dock was no problem.
