Day 199 – at Sombrero Marina, Marathon - January 21, 2012

We are enjoying using our bikes to explore the area.  Today’s trip was to West Marine.  We didn’t have anything we desperately needed, but Fred found the zincs we use and now has a full replacement set.

We are also using the dinghy to explore the area by water.  About a half mile from our dock is Sister Creek.  Sister Creek cuts through Vaca Key leading directly out to the ocean, ending up right next to the beach we found yesterday.

We had a small Looper get together at the bar here this evening.  The main reason was that those of us who just arrived (Boreas, Brandy IV and Once Around) have not seen our friends Barb and Doug from Tropical Breeze in a long time and they are here in Marathon on a mooring ball.  We last saw Tropical Breeze on the Tennessee River at Green Turtle Bay; for Once Around it was even longer ago than that.  Barb and Doug completed their Loop in Cape Coral, FL in late October and have been here in Marathon since early November.  It was great getting together and telling stories and catching up.
