4/27 - We've had great weather for cruising down through Biscayne Bay. It's like a major interstate (except with boats) on the weekends. Put the hook down at Sands Key and took a dinghy ride to explore Boca Chita Key & Marina. Today (Sunday) was the day our "Bimini Buds" are making their passage over to Lake Worth.
4/28 & 4/29 - Cruised on down thru Biscayne Bay to North Card Sound/Middle Creek. Spent the afternoon "dinkin & drinkin" thru the canals and channels at Ocean Reef Resort (Key Largo area). Made a pass thru Angelfish Creek channel out to the Atlantic just to take a look (the seas were flat & calm). Picked up the hook cruised through Jewfish Creek and dropped the hook in Tarpon Basin.
4/30-5/2 - Winds picked up and were predicted to be 15-20 knots, so we got a slip at Plantation Harbor Marina (Islamorada) for a few days. We rented a car to run errands, pick up supplies and to go out for dinner. The 4 of us had a great dinner at Marker 88 Restaurant Wed. night and a send-off dinner for Steve & Rose at the Island Grill Restaurant Thur. night. They drove back up to Ft. Lauderdale on Friday to catch their flight home. We've had a blast and look forward to future cruising with them!
5/3 & 5/4 - We're having to stay put several days (waiting for a few items that we ordered to be delivered) but we've lucked out. This weekend is "Island Fest" here in Islamorada and it's being held in the park right here adjoining the marina. Greg "Fingers" Taylor (from Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band) played Saturday and put on a great show. Also had a crew building a cool sand castle on the beach.

We sure miss you both. Haven't seen such beautiful beaches since we left Midway and Guam. Hope you guys continue to have a wonderful time - as I can readily see you are.
