Anyone headed to Key West from the Naples area, Friday or Saturday during the races? I'm planning on going over but I've never taken the ride over. Looking for someone to follow out there. I know some people are heading over Thursday but that's a little early for me. If I cant find someone to tailgate I'm gonna take the Ferry over
Thanks

Not much to layout.
Leave Marco, Turn left, about 90 miles you're there.
The sea conditions can be nasty that time of year. Best to go real early.
If the winds are strong and coming from anywhere out of the North, hug the coast to Marathon and then shoot over to KW.
