The weather cooperated very nicely for us. Linda went to her physical therapy appointment in Key West on Tuesday and was very pleased with all the precautions taken for the people coming in. She got an excellent assessment, including a grudgingly given approval for Linda to try kayaking. Linda assured her therapist Rosie that she could tie her kayak to mine and I could always tow her, we'd done it before! :)
We were very much looking forward to getting away and anchoring out. So away we went on Wednesday. There was very little wind but it was a little cloudy and sprinkled on the way to our anchorage. It was still great to be away from the dock and on the water. There is no better escape.

I decided to go for a kayak ride. Linda was waiting for Horseshoe Key, our next anchorage, because it is a really nice place to kayak.
It turned out better than I expected. I had a nice ride but the tide was pretty low so I couldn't get in as close to the mangroves as I would have liked. That's where the fish hang out.The water was crystal clear which is always fun.
We sat on the fly bridge and enjoyed a great sunset. There was a pleasant breeze and no bugs so it was a very enjoyable evening and night.Thursday morning we woke up to a perfect day. Almost no wind and sunny. I took another kayak ride because the tide was high. I was able to get into a couple small bays and explore around the mangroves. Also saw some fun birds but couldn't get the camera out fast enough for pictures. There was a snowy egret, an osprey and a pair of Ibises.

We relaxed for a couple more hours and then headed to Horseshoe Key, about two hours away.
