Just riding around Marathon....

Yesterday, Jan 5,2011, was just a lazy day at this Campground. We took walks with Sailor. One of the campers here gave us some of his fish he caught by the bridge. I think they are snappers.  One night I will fry them up. We ate at the restaurant here on the patio as the sun was going down.  The campers were playing "Bingo" afterwards.

The boats in background are all rentals. This is Captain Pips right behind Porky's Restaruant.

Today, Jan 6, 2011.  We checked out some rentals for 19' to 21' with 115 engines. Anywhere from $195.00 full day 8 hours,(not including fuel) to $155.00 half day 4 hours. The one that was advertised for $145 full day looked interesting until we found out that they had sold the boat. It's going to be cool tomorrow, 68, and windy. Anyway, think Wayne has decided we aren't that desperate to ride on the water. Next time we do this we will bring our 17' Coba. Sounds like a plan to me.

At Porky's, Sailor looking at the boats or most likely the pelicans.

We stopped in for lunch at Porky's. Thought we were going to eat with Dale and friends. Here we missed his call that they went to Burdines instead. Anyway, they stopped in to Porky's to say Hi. We made plans to go to Burdines tomorrow night for dinner. Joe Mama is singing.

We drove up to the 7 mile bridge for a short walk, it's really windy today and a lot cooler up on the bridge.

One side of the old bridge, bay side.

Looking over the Oceanside at new bridge and Knight's Key.

Now, the plan is to take a taxi to the Key Fisheries for stone crabs tonight. Unless Wayne has a plan B.
