Finally Warming Up in Marathon! Mid-70s Today

It's finally warming up in Marathon! Yay! No generator for heat this morning, just to run the coffee pot and charge the batteries. What a welcome change.

Patti and I took Jazzy on a walk to Publix and KMart. While Patti was shopping in KMart, I walked another tenth of a mile to the Pet Store and bought liver treats for Jazzy. She's finally getting better at walking on a leash. We were sorry that we didn't put our capris and sandals on...the weather was perfect for them and we were hot and sweaty, but thought we shouldn't complain. It felt good!

We got back around 3 p.m. and called Chuck to pick us up in the dinghy. I packed the ingredients I needed to make homemade peach cobbler with beautiful peaches I bought the other day. Then we went to Bum's Rest and the guys went to a talk at West Marine on Offshore Energy Management. They signed up for it earlier in the week. Close to 100 people attended.

While they were at WM, I made the peach cobbler and then Patti and I munched on Tostitos Scoops and Bruschetta. That was our lunch. It's a good thing we did...the guys didn't get back for dinner until 7:15 or so.

Patti made panko chicken fingers, string beans and chicken flavored noodles. We had the peach cobbler with our coffee for dessert. Patti added a dollop of cool whip.

It's really windy now...gusts are in the low 30s. We'll be here in Boot Key Harbor until early in the week. We're waiting for Jazzy's 2010 license to arrive in the mail. Sailor's arrived today. Then we'll head to John Pennycamp to snorkel and dock overnight. We'll work our way back to the Miami area and wait for a weather window to cross to the Bahamas. Possibly from No Name Harbor.

We're glad to hear Sandi and Chase arrived home from Florida safely. Sorry you were so far away and we didn't get to see you.
