We slept in this morning and took showers at the bathhouse. Newly remodeled, very nice. Patti and I took the grocery cart back to Winn Dixie and went to the p.o. to mail boxes home. We picked up a few things we forgot at the grocery story and her doctor called. He called her refills in to the CVS where we were and they said it would be 20 minutes. So we walked to the McDonald's across the parking lot and I got an Egg McMuffin and orange juice for breakfast.
It was already about 85 degrees in the sun and it was a half-mile walk. We were hot. So much for nice showers before we left. After waiting about a half hour, the pharmacist tech told Patti that the insurance wouldn't approve renewal until Dec. 15, but there is a CVS in Marathon and she can get it filled there. Very frustrating.
We left Mangrove Marina around 1 p.m. We were only moving about 10 miles to Islamorada, so no rush. We dropped anchor and sat for a while. We had a few boats fly past us and Chuck looked at the weather and decided to pull anchor and move. Winds are supposed to be around 15 after midnight and we were in too shallow water and if our anchor pulled loose, we could go aground.
We took the dinghies to shore to Lorelei's. There was live music and we sat on a picnic type table that was also a swing, a popular thing at restaurants down here. We had the dogs and sat on the water looking at the sailboats. (See our view of Bum's Rest at left).I had lobster tail. Chuck had baby back ribs. Delicious. We're not going far tomorrow either, so we'll sleep in and go about 10 a.m. or so.
This is the life!
