Treasure Harbor Marina in Plantation Key


Front of marina, see green & blue bimini's?  That's our sailboats.

Bum's Rest



It feels so good being at a dock. Wayne took Sailor over to the big dog park that is enclosed. It's across U.S. Highway 1 on the bay side at Plantation Marina. We were there three years ago. Kathy wanted to go to the post office and a Verizon store. Pam, who runs the marina, took us to the plaza. Which was in Tavernier. We had walked there before on the way down in December. Anyway, before we left, Chuck took Jazzy out in the dinghy and she fell in and swam all the way back to their sailboat. Good thing we didn't leave the boat, because she was right at the scoop. Chuck couldn't row fast enough to catch her. Kathy picked her up by the life jacket handle.

Jazzy being picked up from her swim back to the boat. I least we know she can swim and the life jacket worked well. Kathy toweled dried her and put her back in the dinghy. Chuck tied a rope on her this time.

Now it was time for us to go for our ride. Mailed Kathy's packages off, picked up some bread at Win-Dixie and visited the Verizon store. Of course, they didn't have the phone she wanted. Now have to wait till we return to Miami next week. So, now we walk, walk, walk, walking, walking and more walking. Almost 5 miles back. Two hours it took to get back. I had my walking shoes on too, but, did I get blisters!! At least it wasn't blistering hot and we were on the old U.S. highway 1 that had a bike path on the side. Very little traffic. Thank goodness. I couldn't stop because my legs an feet were screaming, just wanted to get back and take the sneakers off. I'll walk two miles, but what we did was to much. TAXI.........

Wayne had walked down to a restaurant for ice this morning, and the owner gave Wayne a bucket full. So, we walked down for dinner, and returned his bucket. It was very good. I had ribs that fell off the bone. Yum! Wayne had grilled grouper. The place is called Chilli-Willie's.

Thank goodness I didn't have to cook tonight.
