I'm dragging my feet so to speak, so I can pick my Dad & his friend up in Miami...
Everybody has a cousin in Miami ;D (song reference again)
Here in Key Largo where I had planned on stopping for a few days anyway, I unloaded the scooter & went exploring.
I stumbled on the fact that THE African Queen's home is Key Largo. Sooo I HAD to see her & I did!! I also experienced a family of manatees close up & in the wild!
Today I left Gilbert's Marina. I'll surely miss the AC power and pool & tiki bar, etc...!
I didn't go far since bad nasty storms (like last weeks) are in the forecast for Biscayne Bay, which is about 15 miles North of here. I'm "holed up" in a river lined by Mangrove trees, an ole' trick since the water is deep right up to them and they act as a wind buffer & a soft bumper ;D
Finally I want to send a shout out to a pair of Brothers from Tampa who were in the resort which my boat was docked at; right in front of their room.
Hi Paul & Mike!!
What a cool pair of bro's; reminds me of my siblings :D
I truly enjoyed your company. I hope I didn't talk yur ear off!! lol
Peace out for now~

ReplyDeleteP.S with 3 crew you could go off shore as far as your folks place and make much better time with no bridges to slow you down.
your friend,
Ty
just watch for those quick very trubulent storms that blow up quickly and hang around way too long.
