Hanging in Key West

We're in Key West for a week, and I decided to bring a hammock along (an ENO) single) just in case, and we used it at Zachery Taylor State Park/Beach the other day...

It was fun, and we'll never travel without a hammock now...

I love key west!! There is a very small uninhabited island that you can see from the downtown that I always think if I needed to run away that that would be the spot. Me, my canoe and my hammock. A quick paddle to get supplies and back to the hammock. Shhhh don't tell my wife and kids were I went.:)

Fun place to go. Looks like your son was having a blast. How did you get him out ?

I spent a winter in Key West with my sailboat anchored near that uninhabited island. It is Christmas Tree Island and some hippies lived there at times, ferrying their kids to Key West for school each day. The island south of CTI is tank island and was uninhabited when I was there. Now it has condos on it.

I had a net hammock that I hung between the main mast and the mizzen mast some nights. What great sleep I got then, with the boat rocking slightly and a gentle breeze blowing... :)

It was getting my wife out of the hammock that proved to be really tough...she fell in love with the comfort of relaxing between the trees, even/especially when she used the hammock as a chair by sitting in it perpendicularly...
