Re: Key West sailing advise
It's possible that a captain from the charter company could spend a day or two on the boat with you and then sign you off for the rest of the week. It's worth asking.

They have been trying to get the guides to remove that. There aren't any public moorings in Potter's cove, infact there is a fine for using a mooring without the owners consent.
