Down In the Florida Keys: Travels of Dursmirg

“I am going where the wind blows, when the spirit moves me and the price is right.”
These were the driving forces that would be fulfilled beyond Jane and John’s wildest expectations.
Using St. Augustine, Florida, as a home base, winter sojourns south aboard their 46-foot sailboat Dursmirg always included the Indian River where lifelong friendships were cemented, bountiful seafood harvested, and anchorages a slice of paradise.
Biscayne Bay was a cruising boaters dream come true. Anchorages abounded at Dinner Key, Biscayne Key plus Sand, Elliot and Rhodes Keys in the Biscayne National Park.
Venturing south in the Hawk Channel took them to Marathon, Boot Key, No Name Harbor, Key West, the Marquesas, and Dry Tortugas. These places were part of the best cruising, fishing, and exploring to be found anywhere.
Dodging the bullet that wounded the nation and slipping off into a Utopian paradise while the world was in turmoil, they migrated together with like-minded sailors into a new dimension.
