The Sigsbee RV park at the Navy base sits on the banks of the channel to the well-sheltered, Key West Marina. We were only 50-feet away from a ramp where we could launch our paddleboards and play with the dogs. There was also a secluded beach just 30 yards from the ramp. And we only had to drive three miles from Mallory Square and Duvall Street in downtown Key West.
After a swim with the dogs, we stopped for cocktails at the Base waterfront club. Then it was time to explore town. We found a great patio bar called "Hank's Saloon" where one of the best bands of our trip, The Glass Cats, performed. They played jazz, 70s and funk. Amazing solos on the piano, guitar and bass. One patron dubbed them the "Glass Cat's Pajamas", because they made every song they played sound better than the original. I love jazz-style solos between refrains. Yes, they played some Grateful Dead, and yes, I even liked that song better than the original studio version. Very talented group. They played straight through from 5-8 pm with no breaks. Garbo's food truck on site served up awesome sliders, yum-yum shrimp and korean bbq tacos. We arrived back at camp to a beautiful sunset over the bay.
