Loved it. Nice smooth night of sleep, besides the dinghy clanking in the davits. We didn't get to explore at all, because the admiral wanted to go back to Key West for the New Years Eve fireworks.

Anchored here for one night with east winds. Was not very comfortable and with my draft it was impossible to get close enough to explore.
