March 25, Day 273 – In Peck Lake, Jupiter Island

We slept in this morning. It was a very lazy day. Late in the morning we decided to go to the beach. Gerry took his fishing pole, Linda took her book. It was a little overcast and a bit breezy, but the wind picked up significantly during the time we were there. Michael and Gerry fished and Michael actually caught a fish. They both decided they needed new poles – the kind for fishing in the surf. We’ll see!!

We spent the afternoon just hanging out; Gerry took a nap. Around 5:00 we jumped in the dinghy and headed over to Second Star to plan our next few days. We will probably go to Vero Beach for the weekend. Back at the boat, Gerry grilled hamburgers, we watched a little TV and then off to bed. It had been a nice relaxing day.

There was a colorful boat pulling out first thing this morning. We'd never seen a yellow trimmed boat before, along with a yellow dinghy.

At one end of the lake was a lone sailboat. It was obvious the boat had been there for quite some time. Since someone lived on the boat, it wasn't exactly derelict, but it definitely was run down.

This trail led to the beach

... and here's the dunes, with the ocean behind

Gerry down at the beach

The dunes had new grasses planted .... sort of looked like hair plugs.

The old man and the sea

Look, Mikey caught a fish

Everyone gathered around to take a look

The sea was "angry" today, but it had interesting colors
