Thanks!! I think we’ve decided to go with sailing through the keys. What are your favorite destinations through the keys? Where’s a good place to start for 9 day trip?

The answer to this question will be dependent on what are your interests.
The Keys are mostly about
fishing,
diving and snorkeling. Of course there is clear
water and beautiful sunsets, the rest of the Keys is about tourists.... hotels, restaurants and bars.
Key West in an entity all its own. If you haven't been there, a couple of nights at the
Key West Bight Marina can be a unique experience.
You can also
anchor out in
remote places all up and down the chain. Or, pick up a
mooring in Boot Key Harbor. It's also an interesting place, with a combination of cruisers, liveaboards and derelicts.........
The only thing to be aware of is: if you travel down Hawk Channel, sometimes coming back north can be a real challenge. The
wind is typically east to SE.
With your
draft though, you could spend the entire time on the Bay side. Plenty of things to do/see there as well.
