Watchin’ the sun bake

We’ve settled into Boyd’s Campground here in Key West for our seven week stay. We’ve seen a couple of boats blown up on shore and a few buildings or houses with roof damage, but for the most part, Key West survived Hurricane Irma. The historic old houses in the old town area near Duval Street sustained no damage.

Our first Sunday here we drove out to Geiger Key for their Sunday BBQ. We’ve been many times, but we really enjoy the open air tiki bar and restaurant on the water, on the Atlantic side of the Keys. It's about 10-miles north of Key West so there are few tourists and mostly locals that go there.   

One evening we enjoyed the sunset at Mallory Square and dinner at a nearby Cuban restaurant.

Last Friday afternoon we went into old town to watch the 37^th Annual Key West Super Boat International Championship races. There were boats from all over the USA plus other countries. We watched the races from Mallory Square.  

Nice fishing boat

Later that evening we watched a parade of the super boats down Duval Street.

The weather has been mostly sunny and in the low-80s everyday with overnight lows in the mid-70s. We did have a brief rain shower one day last week.
