Dockside Sombrero Marina, Boot Key Harbour, Marathon, Florida

Said goodbye to Jill and Richard on Finally and Tom and Linda on Q's End today, they are heading on up to Key Largo and then on to Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Kathy and Richard in Rambler headed off today as well, but had to return with a problem with a sensor on the boat. This is the second time they have had to return with the same problem, reminds us of our issues with fuel last summer. Hope they are able to get it repaired quickly.
Marlene from Nomad, Nancy from Dream Fever and myself had a girls day out this morning, went shopping in Marathon. There are some neat stores. Then the men joined us for lunch at a place called Hurricane. That restaurant has lunch for $5. with some really good choices.  Toured some more stores after lunch, then stopped at the grocery store and picked up a couple of things, including fresh shrimp that they steam at the store. Dinner was salad and shrimp for Nancy and I, salad and hot dogs for the men. The shrimp was really good, may have to try that again. Watched the sun set past the sailboats in the morring field near us. Wonderful and peaceful.

Can't get over how friendly everyone is here. It really seems to be a nice place to stay a while.
