February 24: Thinking it's About Time to Move On

After John, Daisy and June left, we spent some time doing the normal mundane chores necessary - like laundry and cleaning up the boat. Wednesday was predicted to be nice weather and waves so the plan was to go back to Sombrero Reef.

The day was as predicted so Steve went diving and I snorkeled (there were some issues with some of the equipment we bought two years ago). The water was much clearer than when we went the first time. No pics of the diving/snorkeling but here is a picture of Steve fishing. Caught a few grunts but that was it.

The water was really blue today. Once you are out to a depth of more than 40 feet or so it is really something. Very, very blue. We were both beat by the time we arrived back at the dock at 5:45 - just in time for sunset!

Two gatherings this week of boaters: MTOA (our trawler group) on Tuesday at a marina a short bike ride away and the AGLCA (America's Great Loop Cruiser Assoc) tonight - right outside our boat! So even though we aren't members, we joined them anyway. Saw some folks both nights that we had first met on our travels down the inland rivers so it's always nice to catch up.

We plan on leaving here next Tuesday for the next phase in our travels. The plan is to be in Tavernier for the month of March but then who knows!!
