Article In April Issue Of Yachting Describes Tough Dockage In KW Key West’s lack of yachting facilities are scored in an article in the current “Yachting” by Ed- ward and Mary Stevenson. The sea-going couple made a cruise last ‘winter from Bablon, N. Y. down the Inland waterway to Marathon, on the outside to Key West and finally to Havana. They call their article “Island of’) Enchantment” but it does not re- fer to Key West. Though they were grateful for) the aid received from Navy per-| sonell here when their engine died off at Aeropalms, they say of our dockage: “Arriving at the Gulf Oil dock we were told we could proceed in- side the basin and tie up to the inner face of the pier, which we found to be ancient, rough and un- protected from the surge of the sea. After my experiences there, if I were ever to make the pass- age again, I would take my de- parture from Marathon and . go directly to Havana, avoiding the doubtful values of dockage at Key West, for the distance is not much greater.’ The Stevensons found that they did get a modicoum of shelter in the northwester “‘in the lee of a small island” about Malf a mile away from the Gulf Dock.
