Then we jumped in the dinghy and head out to Sombrero Beach. It was about a 25 minute ride down Sister Creek.
Photo below shows us leaving marina and entering Sister Creek.
As usual very nice homes along the way.
We pulled the dinghy up on shore and got ready for our beach day.
Someone the day before had made the mermaid sand sculpture shown below.
I was able to get my first live nature shot. The bird below was eating a fish.
We then took the dinghy to the Dockside restaurant. Only bar/restaurant we have been disappointed in so far.... expensive for what we ordered. We did meet a really nice couple from Philadelphia.... Rob and Sarah. They rented a restored 70's orange VW van in Tampa and were driving it to Key West. They also had their puppy with them. She told me how she was able to get a doctor's sign-off to fly with him on Southwest on her lap for free. He was a certified emotional stress animal. I am going to check into this if we decide to fly with Charlie. I will never fly with him in cargo.
Tonight they lit the Christmas lights at the Marathon Community Park that is right next to the marina. We stopped in and took a few photos. Definitely got me in the holiday spirit.
Santa fishing... won't see that in Minnesota for sure!
I couldn't pass up photos with the lighted seahorse and flamingo.... won't see those in Minnesota either!
On our dinghy ride back to the boat tonight, a helicopter took off next to the marina and did a fly by with its lights on very close to us... unnerving but cool at the same time. Felt like we were in a movie. That will probably never happen again.
Tomorrow we are leaving Marathon and heading north to Islamorada.... about 60 miles. We plan to anchor close to Lora Lea's restaurant and dinghy into shore for dinner and some shopping.
