Hey all you south Florida sailors, The Key West Sailing Club is attempting to organize a trip to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas from 9 - 13 April. The loose plan, weather permitting, is this: Sail from Key West on the morning of the 9th (Monday), spend a night at the Marquesas Keys, and press on to Fort Jefferson (Garden Key) on the 10th. We plan to weigh anchor for the return trip on morning the 12th, with an overnight at Woman Key on the way back. We are planning on doing all of our sailing on the Atlantic side of the Keys, weather permitting. Total round-trip mileage is about 130 miles. This is a Bring-Your-Own type of event, and you'll need to bring plenty of it as there are NO FACILITIES at Fort Jefferson- Not even fresh water. We are also trying to put together a 'Pot luck' raft-up for the evening of the 11th, so try to bring some food and beverage to share. We are inviting everyone who wants to come along to share in the trip, and if you can't bring your own boat, we may be able to find a crew slot for you on someone else's! If you're interested, contact me at jonbastien@yahoo.com and I can fill you in on the details...--Jon BastienH25 'Adagio'
