DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY




We had a lovely Valentines “Happy Hour” tour of Key West with Marge and George and Melvin and Michelle.  First stop Bagatelle, second stop The Grand Cafe (pictured here) and the last stop Sunset Pier. It is hard to say good-bye to such good friends and family. 

Here's a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note

Don't worry, be happy

In every life we have some trouble

But when you worry you make it double

Don't worry, be happy




There were several days and nights of stormy weather here in Key West. Although we were lucky enough to be on a mooring, the mooring field is not protected from the strong north winds. We bounced, we rocked, we rolled. One night I woke David up and said, “Just put yours arms around me and hold me tight. Maybe we won’t feel the waves so much.” It worked! 


Our time in Key West has come to an end

We’re ready to set our sails again





Don’t worry be happy

Our tanks are full

Our bellies too

Don’t worry be happy




Lunches at Caroline’s, appetizers at The Commodores Boathouse, drinks at The Grand Cafe, desserts at The Key Lime Pie Bakery, and sunsets at Sunset Pier. We were never disappointed. 

The winds have calmed

We’re bound for Marathon

Don’t worry be happy

Two weeks (or so) there

And then we’ll move on

Don’t worry be happy





The wind forecast for Saturday is less than 10 knots from the south. If it holds true it should be a perfect to sail back to Marathon. 

Soon spring will arrive

And we will come alive

Don’t worry be happy

Florida, Georgia,

Carolina (Times 2)

Don’t forget Virginia too. 

Don’t worry be happy




I have several hundred more sunset pictures taken here in Key West. This is one of my favorites. 

The Chesapeake and Maryland, 

Delaware and New Jersey (woe is me)

Don’t worry be happy

New York and Rhode Island

But Cuttyhunk is where we really want to be

Don’t worry be happy






I have several hundred sunrise pictures too. I can’t begin to showcase them all. I promise to keep taking pictures as we travel north too. 

Now here, is this song I wrote

I hope you learned it note for note

Follow our travels

And you will see





More sunrises and sunsets, 

More pictures of us 





(Obsession, David and me)

Living our Dream of Retirement on the sea. 




DONT WORRY BE HAPPY!
