Stock Island to Marathon, FL

Today:          42 miles        8.4 hours          ICW St M “    
Total:       1454 miles    216.6 hours

     We were up shortly before 7.  Dog was walked and we again had final hugs with Deb and Hugh before heading over to the fuel dock.  We decided to wait and refuel in Marathon so we were underway by 8:00 am.  Breezes were light out of the SSW.  We were amazed to see 9 sea turtles in one day! We are always looking, but seldom rewarded.  The Coast Guard helo made a number of runs up and down the coast and circled over head once.  We think they might be searching for someone specific.  Thankfully, it is not us!
     The remainder of our trip today was uneventful. We dropped anchor in Boot Key Harbor around 4:30 in the same spot we anchored on the way down.  The neglected boats just east of us now have orange notices from the city to remove it from the harbor.  It will be interesting to see how many of these boats with notices will be gone by our fall visit.
