Marathon-Stuart 7/2020

Ross and I are starting another adventure we are moving the boat from Marathon, Florida up to  for hurricane season the coronavirus is impacting all of us a lot of the restaurants are closed that are my favorites like Lorelei”s in Key Largo, Fl. We flew into Miami and rented a car and are driving to Marathon. We both were a little nervous about flying but everyone has to wear a mask it is mandatory the flight was 150 empty seats so we got first class.  Ross moved back into coach it was a lot emptier. I had a Gigi so I stayed in first they do not serve anything they give you a brown paper bag with water and pretzels and a little sanitizing wipes in it . We are doing a few maintenance things while we are on the dock including waxing the boat cleaning the inside as we are hooked up to the air-conditioning

We stopped at one of our favorite locations Gilbert’s restaurant they have wonderful piña colada’s they make with real ice cream.

 Gigi loves being on the boat as long as she is with us she’s happy.

 This is an example of how everyone looks wearing a mask ordering drinks or food, at least the waiters and waitresses have masks on.

I actually made my own mask.

We are at The Docks eating an appetizer of conch fritters and smoked fish dip and drinking a couple of coronas with lime they have music they have spaced everyone at least 6 feet apart.

I took a break from doing chores and rode my bike to the beach it was a hot day but it was nice. There was a lot of seaweed floating up.

Here I am taking a selfie on the beach.

The sunsets here are amazing we went for a dingy ride to short Gigi loves the dingy.

Sunsets in Florida  

As we began our journey to Stuart three dolphins joined our bow to ride our wake and enjoy the waves.

Dolphins are so much fun to watch.

Dolphins are playful and enjoy jumping the wake.

As we drive and continue our journey we have to go under some bridges.

This bridge is high enough where we don’t have to open it up.

I decided to do a little fishing and Ross is helping me set the line.

In no time at all I caught a 20 pound 36 inch blackfin tuna.

                We are going to John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo Florida.

The coral down here is unbelievable especially when the sun is shining.

We are going down the intercoastal and there are some beautiful homes here.

The afternoon storms were starting to brew.

The sun came out right at the end of the rainstorm and a rainbow was formed.

Nothing like a rest in a Hamic after a long weeks of work
