Back to Marathon

We cast off the lines at 08:00 (almost everyone was up) and headed out into the deep blue of the Atlantic. The weather was perfect with warm breezes and calm seas. We fished as we traveled North to Marathon and had two good hits and one biiiig one on. (ziiing) Ron was in the bathroom and I wanted Ron to catch it. When Ron arrived at the aft deck the fish had taken most of the line off the pole and by the time Ron got the pole the biiig one got away. I know, I know!!!! It was a beautiful cruise back to Marathon from Key West and none of us wanted it to end, but there was more to do. Oh, by the way, Ron and Rena have two more days added to their life because as Lifes2short says, "you only have so many days on this earth, but the ones at sea don't count against you" After we arrived back at the dock it was time to shower and head for cocktail hour at the Sunset Bar and Grill for the love of my life's birthday dinner. (man I love that lady) Ron, Rena, Joe, Stephanie and I had a great sunset and a wonderful time celebrating Stephanie's birthday. We all returned to September Song and because it was such a warm beautiful night, we had a night cap on the fly bridge and said goodnight to another wonderful day in paradise. Today we woke to another glorious day and headed to the Stuffed Pig for breakfast. If you are ever in Marathon and want to have a wonderful breakfast under the tiki hut, check this one out. We returned to September Song after breakfast and put Half Note AKA the tender or family car in the water and went exploring. After exploring we took Half Note to the Beach and enjoyed putting our toes in the sand and water. We are now waiting for Todd and Brenda on Life's2Short, who arrived here today, and Joe on Sea Pearl to arrive for a party on September Song tonight. I have lots to blog about Key West, but I need to have everyone approve the pictures and what I am going to tell you about and what I can't tell you about, that you will need to wait for that one. Got to go, Todd, Brenda, and Joe are on their way.

September Song (waiting for approval) out
