The day started with an early breakfast at the 7 Mile Grill. Fantastic food for all – blueberry pancakes and eggs Benedict for the guys and the women had spinach and feta omelets. After that we drove around Marathon checking out all the marinas. We walked the docks and chatted with several loopers/cruisers that were out on their boats enjoying the good weather.
We stopped at the beach for awhile and decided we’d come back later with the necessary stuff (beach chairs and a book). We went to a shell shop as Gerry wanted to get a conch shell to blow. He is pretty good at it as he played the trumpet when he was younger.
Later in the day, Michael, Jana and Linda went to the beach for awhile. Gerry stayed behind and started on taxes. We’d like to get our taxes filed before leaving for the Bahamas. At this point, we’re not sure when we’ll make the crossing. The weather here is very unsettled with winds out of the north. We will probably stay here in Marathon a while longer waiting for the weather pattern to become more “normal”. Then we’ll work our way north to the Key Biscayne area for the crossing.
Since we still had the rental car, we decided to do a bit more provisioning. After that, Linda declared us “full”. There is not room for another can or box or any room in the fridge.
For dinner we went to Key Fisheries. It’s a very informal place with fantastic fish. We thought the prices were a bit high until we saw the portion size. Once again …. we took enough home for another meal.
Back at the boat we watched the Olympics for awhile and then off to bed.

We spotted a bike rental truck with a cute sign on top .... "Free Snow Removal". Wonder if he'd be willing to go to Maryland
