Dinner Key Marina 3

As yesterday was the technical blog today will be the life on a boat blog. After Richards very expensive cab ride we rented a car and it was great to be able to drive around getting things done. We topped up our provisioning supplies once again, it looks like there may be a weather window on Thursday now. With all our errands done we decided to take a break and visit the keys since we still had the car. Paul and Phyllis from Caper (Cabot 36) had just arrived in the mooring field, we had met them in Vero while they were rafted up to Mark and Margie, so we invited them along on the trip. We had a great day leaving at about 930am we took our time sightseeing and having a fun visit. Both of them had been to the area over the years so the were our travel guides. We had a fantastic lunch at a marina that Paul had stayed at 32 years earlier so it was a nice trip down memory lane for him. Each of the Keys was very unique and the views were superb. We hadn’t realized how far it actually was and ended up not getting back to the marina until 730 pm.


Today we refilled the propane tanks on the way to return the car and made plans to have supper with Paul and Phyllis tonight. They have decided to rent a car tomorrow and head to the everglades for a ride on an airboat and have invited us along as well. We are really looking forward to that as we have yet to see the elusive Alligator even though Richard has consumed a bit of them:)
