After waiting out some heavy wind in Tarpon Basin off Key Largo, we made the trip south west to Marathon on New Years Day. We had arranged to stay 2 nights at the Banana Bay Resort and Marina. Once we arrived, we liked it so much we asked if we could stay longer. We are here for 2 weeks instead of 2 days! The marina is relatively small with some time share apartments and a hotel. The boats are full of "snow bird" live aboards - very nice people. We have a daily sunset gathering out by the water/beach, and have enjoyed talking and getting to know people.

The resort includes a pool, picnic area, small beach, and the usual - laundry, pump-out, etc. and walking distance to groceries, pharmacy, Home Depot, restaurants and shops. We have been out for dinghy and kayak rides to explore, enjoy and see the birds and iguanas. I can certainly see the allure of staying here for the winter.
