Coon Key

We had probably or most idyllic sail of the trip so far along the north side of the keys from No Name to Coon.  We were on anything from a close reach to a broad reach almost the entire day in 8-15 KT wind.  These keys are uninhabited, so the only signs of humanity we're the abundant crab pots and an occasional fishing boat.

We anchored in the only place reasonably accessible to a medium sized sailboat, Jewish Bay.  This is the sunrise over Coon Key, which appears to be a rookery for white herons.  There is also a group of laughing gulls who were partying it up until well after sunset last night.

31.89 NM at 4.7 KT over 6:43. Total odo 371.83
