Hump Day on the Island

It's Wednesday I think. Its hard to keep track of the days down here. They all seem to run into each other. Today we got our solar panels. I wasn't really sure we were going to get them. The guy that was supposed to install them kept saying they would be here tomorrow. I'm not the most patient person so a lot of tomorrows don't really cut it with me. But today they are sitting on my front trampoline.
Tomorrow they are supposed to be installed. If all that works then we leave for Ft Lauderdale on Friday.
We haven't been to Ft Lauderdale yet and I'm interested to see what the populated part of Florida looks like from the water. I hope we can find a good place for the kids to meet us.
We took two paddle board trips around the local island, Tavernier Key. You see a lot of sea life when you are paddle boarding. We went over a ship wreck. We saw a shark, about 4 foot long, take off from the ship wreck. Later we saw a baby turtle. I also seem to see the same hammer head shark every time I head into the island. He is about 2 ft long and I named him Fred.
Other than that I see lots of bait fish and some baby barracuda.

For the picture of the day I have Karen and the dogs riding in the dingy.

  1. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time sailing around the Keys. As you said always something to fix on the boat...kind of like one's house but much wetter. Have a good trip to Ft. Lauderdale.

    I't like a house but if you don't fix it you can not move. I have a long list of thing to fix. But I'm working on it.
    Its still better than working.
