Yesterday was a beautiful day in the Gulf. Hardly a clould in the sky most of the way and very calm water. It was so nice that Bob put a chair on top the pilot house and steered the boat with his mote. I should have taken a picture of that! We noticed on interesting phenomenon. There were small fish that seemed to get spooked by the boat and jumped up out of the water and short of used their tails to scoot along for 30 or so feet out of the water.
We made it to Little Shark River, where we had stayed on the way North before Christmas again. Not much to say, it was a fairly quiet night.
This morning we got up early because we had a ways to go. The ride was pretty bumpy today and cloudy most of the day. We arrived at Islamorada in the Keys this afternoon by 3. We discovered that there is a huge Bass Pro Shop here that has a sister ship to one owned by Ernest Hemmingway in the middle of it. Here is a link to this shop - http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&appID=94&storeID=21 Quite a shop. We had dinner at an outside restaurant on the property and then took the dinghy back to the boat. The wind had shifted and we had a devil of a time getting back. I wouldn't call it an E Ticket ride, but it was close! We have a package of mail our neighbor forwarded to us to pick up here before moving on. Looks like that won't be till Wednesday due to the weather forcast now. I'll see about taking some photos of Islamorado tomorrow.
