November 9, 2007 - Powerboat Races in Key West

We went into Key West on November 9th and got our obligatory photo at the Southernmost Point:

Then we headed down Duval Street.  This old theatre is now a Walgreens:

We again ate at Caroline's for lunch even though it is where we had dinner with Jo and Virgil the evening before.  This gave us an excuse to try something new.  It was all good.

The offshore powerboat races were our constant companions since we could hear them all over this part of town.  We decided to go see them in Mallory Square. 

A couple photos:

This is the bad boy, the Budweiser Select boat that is faster than any other:

It was the last race of the day.  Here are some of the other boats in the Key West Bight:

This is the same photo with the contrast turned up to make the fish more visible:

When people find out we are from Washington State they tell us we are from as far away as there is, but we remind them that Alaska is further. Well, here is a car from Alaska (license number obscured on purpose):

The Key West Cemetery, which has taken some damage from hurricanes:

These coral fences still exist in Key West:
