Key West Yacht Club hosts the Boca Grande Raft Up 2012

The big Sunday cookout and party!

 Boca Grande Raft Up

About 16 miles west of Key West is the uninhabited key of Boca Grande.  The crystal clear waters and beautiful white sand beaches make it a great place to have a private party.   The yacht club sent us all loaded up with food, grills, tents, and tables.   Add about 20 boats, 9 yachts (including the Hope), and nearly 100 people and you've got a great party!

What a fantastic weekend!  I can't wait to do it again next year.  Good company, good food, good fun, good weather...great view...what more could you ask for?









After hearing a "crunch" and "thump", we saw Cheryl on her back.  I think this chair had had too much sun.  



Walking the dog takes on a whole new meaning out here!

  2. Hey MV Felicity, let us know when you head South, and we'll do our own raft up.
