Hi,
I've been sailing on the Chesapeake Bay for over 20 years now, mostly
weekends and a week here or there. All I know of the water I learned
from this bay. Now I'm getting ready to take my boat south for the
next six months, Florida I suppose. I have no real plan other than to
be some place warm with some nice places to anchor. My inclination is
to make for the keys for no other reason than it's as far south as I
can go and still be near land.

My question is, well, how are the keys? How's the bottom? Good
anchoring? Good sailing? A nice place to be? I'm serious. I really
don't know. All comments and suggestions are very welcome.
