Islamorada, Fl

Today was another one of those so many days we have had. Great weather, great exploring, and [a little surprise here.] It will have to wait, Stephanie wants to blog about that. We decided to stay here for a few days and enjoy exploring Islamorada. Today Stephanie encouraged me to install a GPS on Half Note because we need to know where we are going. Lots of shallow water and you can get lost out here in the dozens of little Keys. The GPS is kind of like the one for cars, only for water. After installing the GPS we put Half Note in the water and headed for Islamorada. Cassie was going nuts watching the hundreds of huge fish we passed over. (remember, she loves to fish) We had lunch at Islamorada Fish Company where you can bring your pets. Cassie and Godiva thought that was cool. They even got their own bowl of water. After lunch we bought 2 lbs. of fresh stone crab claws for later. Stone crab and lobster season is open and the traps are everywhere. After lunch and a little exploring (a visit to the local bakery) we headed back to the boat. I tried my hand at fishing again, but you will have to read Stephanie's blog about that. The Day ended with cocktails, smoked fish spread, and a beautiful sunset on the front deck. Life is good! :-)
