Marathon, Fl.

We are in Marathon. It was not a very good trip as we had to be towed in by Felicity. (Thanks Jim and Teri). The raw water impeller came apart and the engine overheated but we are here and well anchored in the mooring field. I've changed the impeller and bought a couple of spares.
Teri had to fly back to Texas and return to work. She will be missed and we look forward to meeting up again later down the line.
We will try to post more pictures before we depart for the Bahamas.

Bahia Honda cont.

This is a small island/shoal just off the the park. The two dots just under and to the left of the trees on the island is Jim and me. We were trying to catch a lobster or two. No luck but had lots of fun.

Lagoon and marina, it was way too shallow for Felicity's and Moondance's draft.

We ate , drank and listened to the band at the orginal Sloppy Joe's, reportedly one of Hemmingway's hang outs.
Dogs, cats and chickens have the run of the place.

They are everywhere you least expect. It is great here in Key West, but it's time to move on.
