SOMBRERO BEACH March 5, 2009

Catrina said goodbye to Clint and Pat as the courtesy car from Marathon Airport picked them up and delivered them to their plane. Tom really enjoyed their company and talking about airplanes and sailboats!


The rest of the day we used to re-energize ourselves. Tom did lots of projects around the Catrina and caught up on TV news. He also restocked the milk and cookies!


Debbie took a ride to Sombrero Beach and read her mystery book.


Previously, we had noticed how the seagulls were different in the Keys and Debbie finally got a picture of them.


Can you pick out the different ones?

Yesterday the Marina moved us to N-2 which is right off the main channel to MCM. Across the channel we see lots of boats in A-J.


In front of us is Second Avenue from Lutz FL


Beside us is Laura with no port of call.


Behind us is the biggest houseboat on a ball!


The big news from yesterday that we completely forgot to mention was our turtle sighting on the Gulf side. We thought at first that it was a big piece of board but as we got closer we could see it was a very large brown turtle, maybe 5 feet long. We think it was an Atlantic Green Turtle (which are brown) but when we got close he did not stay around for us to observe! He dove down into the Gulf and disappeared!
