Islamorada Motel (Closest) 87760 Overseas Highway (Mile Marker 87.76, bay side) Phone: 305-852-9376 They have a total of 13 rooms, 5 large and 6 small. Rates: Small room, one queensize bed -- $79 Large room, two beds and kitchen -- $99 Web site: www.islamoradamotel.comLookout Lodge (Next Closest) (On the same water as the regatta) 87770 Overseas Highway (Mile Marker 87.77, bay side) Phone: 305-852-9915 They have a total of 10 rooms Rate range: $139-$350 Web site: www.lookoutlodge.comConch-on-Inn Corner of U.S. 1 and Caloosa St. (Mile Marker 89.5, bay side) Phone: 305-852-9309 They have a total of 8 rooms Rates: One queen bed -- $89 Two double beds -- $99 I think all the rooms have frig. and microwave. Web site: www.conchoninn.comCoconut Cove Resort & Marina 305-664-0123 84801 Overseas Hwy 2 acres of natural tropical landscaping and only 10 units with kitchens. www.coconutcove.netKeys Motel / Cay Clubs 305-852-2351 · Fax: 3005-852-7301 90611 Old Highway · Key Largo, FL 33070 Located on US1 at Tavernier Creek, the Keys Motel offers 20 rooms, dockage, pool and restaurant www.cayclubs.com . Holiday Isle Resorts Mile Marker 84 (just 3 miles south of Founders Park) Phone: 305-664-2321 They have five hotels on the property, all with different names. You call that same number for all of them and pick the one you want. They all have different price ranges. If you want a peaceful one, get one of the motels farthest north on the property (closer to Founders Park). If you want to be where all the action is, you might want the Tower Building (also called the Horizon) or the next motel north of that. They are the closest to the Tiki Bar, which is far better than the one at Gilbert’s. Holiday Isle also has restaurants on the premises and I think food at the Tiki Bar, too. Holiday Isle is the big “hot spot” between Miami and Key West. For more motels, go to the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce: http://www.islamoradachamber.com/lodging.cfm | | | Re: Tradewinds Update

Oh, for Andi, sorry, it does say MPH, not Knots. Still, plenty of wind for two up. I just sent you a PM, and I'm going out back to put the boat on the trailer now. See ya!
