Tuesday 12/13 – Saturday 1/11
Our month here at Marathon Marina seemed to fast forward. The weather has been wonderful with temps hovering in the 70s and 80s with the occasional cold front bringing windy and cool conditions. Royce and I have enjoyed the low key(ha, ha) life here with the hardest thing to do was to decide what pleasure to pursue. Our highlight during this period was a visit by Brandon & Cori. We enjoyed trips with them to Key West, Miami(South Beach), and the surrounding area, especially the beaches. We enjoyed boat rides aboard Puffin and explored Boot Key Harbor by dinghy. It was especially nice to celebrate Christmas and New Years with them. Our stay at Marathon Marina was punctuated with the meeting of many cruisers who have come here year after year. It was enlightening to hear their stories of adventure.
