Our stay at Marathon Marina ends but through the network of Loopers, we hear of a new marina on the opposite end of Vaca Key in Marathon. We check it out and are very impressed with the facilities, so we motor Puffin to our new transient home of Coral Lagoon Resort and Marina. The new marina features a swimming pool ,very nice showers and reciprocal privileges at their sister resorts. Upon our arrival, we are only one of two transient boats, but soon there are 10 other Looper boats in our company. Upon seeing the resort's beautiful 3 bedroom homes for rent, we call my sister, Aimy and brother-in-law, Bruce and they decide to visit us and stay in one of the resort homes. Meanwhile, Royce and I enjoy the swimming pool and have many happy hour parties with the rest of the Loopers. Because we have our truck here, we are able to help our fellow Loopers with trips around town. With the arrival of Aimy and Bruce, we visit Key West , Bahia Honda State Park, the Turtle Hospital, the Dolphin Research Center and the Everglades National Park. We are also treated to the luxurious accomodations of the resort during their visit. Upon taking them to the Fort Lauderdale Airport, Royce takes the opportunity to have a few medical check-ups in the metropolitan area, and after a return visit the following week, we are relieved to hear everything is ok. Meanwhile, we continue to enjoy our extented stay here in Marathon and plan on departing for our trip up the Florida ICW when the weather window is favorable
