Will want to run AC for hours and hours, maybe even 24.. for days at a time.

Random observation of the day
My local vets are expensive, how much do key west vets charge?
Will just run one thing at a time out of the various systems.. not sure that I can get the proper wiring done inside the house power panel. I will be sure to not use a regular extension cord to connect the house to the boat. Instead it will be this... https://www.amazon.com/Marinco-Marine-Electrical-Pigtail-Adapter/dp/B000NHZV54/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=shore+power+adapter&psc=1&qid=1571710158&sr=8-3 to a regular shore power cord...
Was 90 here in South Carolina 2 weeks ago. I miss it. Miss the keys weather even more. Last time we went i took the family snorkeling at the little island you see on the Atlantic side of the bridge, the one about mid point of the bridge, theres 2 little spots that stick above the water, not the large one at the south end. Anyway, found a complete old queen conch shell the size of a football(looked to have been empty for years) found it in the channel right at the foot of the mangroves on the northern tip of south Island. The current there gets pretty wicked in tide change and had carved out about a 6 to 8 ft hole. Most of the shells we found that day were just chunks and bits the kiddo just had to bring home. I have it sitting on my front porch by the door and as weather here gets more and more crappy the more i wish we could migrate south. I love fall as it beings football and hockey but the games are just as good, if not better when im watching from a TV 14 hrs south of here.
I didnt mind key west, it reminded me of Charleston, super crowded streets and crap parking. Id probably have enjoyed it had it just been me and my son as we are big into exploring. Sadly i drove my excursion so parking was also a hassle. If i go again it will be just him and i and an uber or bus. The little lady doesn't like miles of walking and her mom isnt capable of it. I could have spent an entire day going from resurant to resurant and walking the entire city. We pretty much went, parked, ate at a resurant by the old truck with all the stickers at the docks then went back to marathon. I didnt even get to the so called southern most point. We did go to some park by the base but it was by accident trying to find the southern most point. I couldn't navigate and drive my 8000 lbs rig thru the streets trying to avoid hitting protected chickens.
Ill be back but not with the entire family. Was a frustrating, trip to go and turn right back. My kid and i like to try a key lime pie from every resurant in an effort to find the keys best key lime pie. Herbies is still holding that spot.

A homeless cat being sad seems fitting. Mine will turn their noses at their food until i shake it a few times, then it's suddenly very yummy. Cats are very particular and choosy. I've got one that seems to wait on any opportunity to visit/sleep in the cabin on the rinker any time i forget to close the cabin door all the way. In one of the little carpeted shelves in the cockpit i keep a fishing magnet with some 75ft rope. She'll pull all of it out to sleep in that hole. Every time i get on board i have to reorganize the rope and put it back. I know shes doing it on purpose. Payback for me keeping the door open just enough for her not to fit. The bad part is i have another empty 23 footer in the yard and i took the cabin doors off of, they can come an go as they please until im done parting it out but they dont want anyting to do with that one.
Go Steelers!!!

I found her. Destroyed 2 rolls of paper towels and crapped/peed on a rain jacket laying in the v berth. Threw away rain jacket and spent an hour cleaning paper towel confetti and cat hair. She crawled into the cabin and fell asleep while i was working and i didnt notice. Could have been way worse.
Picture perfect day out there for most of FL
