Over dinner last night we discussed where we will go once the winds and storms abate. We were planning to go to Pennekamp State Park and snorkle the reefs, but if we could not get a mooring, we might want a Plan B. I note that we could go up the west coast of Florida, which we had planned after doing the Tortugas. Since that change, we felt that we would just wander back east / north and stop at some places along the way. Beth called Pennekamp this morning and they have several moorings available, so we will be heading that way on Friday, if the forecast holds.
Today the rains have gone and we are left with a sunny, blustery day. There is still a small craft advisory so we are staying put. We have decided that we will have shrimp on the barbie tonight, so we are off for some veggies and shrimp from the Key's Fisheries market. With the sun out, it is warm again, and once we return with our provisions, we are off to the beach. I ferry Beth to Sombrero Beach, and there is no hope for waves, so I return to play my guitar, read, and do Suduku in the paper we bought. After a couple of hours, I retrieve Beth from her palm tree shade, and watch as some people tie their boat to a pier that has sign stating that they shouldn't. They ran aground across the channel and are inspecting the damage.
We return and have early showers as we are both sandy from the beach. I clean the shrimp, season with butter and garlic and herb seasoning, and grill them along with some onions and peppers. Beth says, no wonder you won't take me to dinner, since this is so much better than I can get at the restaurants.
