Key Largo

Cruised up the Hawk Channel about 50 miles with ease to Key Largo on the outside of the Keys, mostly very smooth for a change. Upon arriving we determined the tide was so low we decided to anchor in the bay for the night instead of the marina. Since this is on the Alantic side of the Keys but protected by a reef, we were apprehensive about the winds and waves at an overnight anchorage. But it was tolerable and we made it fine, although somewhat bumpy in the night.
