It was amazing how many people we knew at the flea market. We think every looper in Florida must have been there. It was great weather and it was fun visiting with fellow boaters. On the way back to Marathon we stopped at World Wide Sportsman and ended up buying a few items there.
When we got back to the boat we were ecstatic to discover that we’d finally gotten mail. We’ve had problems getting our mail forwarded lately. When we left Annapolis, we put in a temporary 6-month forwarding request. At the end of 6 months we renewed it for another 6 months. However, it never went into effect and our mail has been delivered to our home since then. Our friends, Jim and Karen, packed it up for us and tried to forward it to us in Fort Myers but, as luck would have it, the post office screwed up again and the package was sent back to them in Maryland instead of us. Very frustrating as all of our tax stuff was in the package. They finally got things squared away with the post office and it arrived here in Marathon. We owe them a huge THANK YOU for all their efforts.
Later that night we walked next door to Porky’s for dinner. The food was good and the portions were huge. We ended up with lots of leftovers for another meal. Back at the boat we went to bed early. The day’s events (and the sun) had worn us out. We were ready to call it a day.
The Flea Market was held at Founder's Park. In addition to the park there is also a nice beach and a marina. There were a few looper boats at the marina.
