Those who followed our trip past winter season could easily tell that we're in love with FL waters. While planning our last trip to Key Wes for New Years, I was caught by surprise last year that at about mid November marinas in downtown were booked solid. I couldn't find one slip just for my boat, forget about group bookings.
Thus, I'd like to start the thread much in advance and see if anyone would like to join us for the trip and celebrating 2015/2016 New Years in Key West.
We have booked Galleon Resort and marina. After spending 3 nights at Stock Island marina last year, we moved to Galleon marina for extra night and loved it. So, this year we didn't want to miss the chance and booked it early. Steve (COD) didn't waste anytime and booked it even before I did.
The dates we've booked are Dec 28th until Jan 2nd. Please be advised that downtown marinas have minimum stay requirement. Galleon has 5 days minimum. We stayed 4 nights last year (between 2 marinas) and didn't want to leave. Wether our time will allow us to stay 5 nights or we'll choose to spend extra night in another port doesn't matter. The bottom line is that we felt that committing to Galleon Resort was worth it.
I'm just starting to work on our itinerary, but we'll stop at few port before getting to Key West. I'll post more details as I'll have them.
Keep in mind that we have two separate groups, one heading down on the East Coast and another on the West Coast. Those who wish to travel in a group, can join the group coming from your direction.
