It's Raining in Paradise

As you can see by the picture of the Hunter 33 behind us it is very much raining. A cold front has moved though the keys and brought with it a storm. We are expected to get winds around 20 knots and higher gusts. The rain is supposed to become less this evening.

We are still at anchor in Boot Key Harbor, Marathon. The extended forecast did not sound good for moving on to Key West, so we opted to stay put.

This morning we went by dinghy to do some provisioning at Publix and before that we went to a wholesale fish market. The fish is very fresh and what a price compared to other fish stores and the grocery stores. We should be set for a while now. We made it back just before the down pour hit.

This is a picture of Iggy the resident iguana at Crane Point Historic Site. We rode our bikes yesterday to see the museum and walk the nature trails. There is 63 acres of property. We visited the Wild Bird Center, where injured birds are cared for and released when well. We saw the Adderely House, the oldest house outside of Key West. We also visited the Museum of Natural History. All in all it was a very interesting trip and a very sunny and warm day.

We do not know when and if we will go to Key West before heading up the West coast of Florida. It will depend on if we get a weather window to do so.
