Day 200 – at Sombrero Marina, Marathon - January 22, 2012

Day 200!  That’s a pretty significant milestone, so it is probably time to give you more trip statistics.  In 200 days we have traveled 3464 miles using 1360 gallons of fuel.  We have traveled under 277 bridges and through 37 locks.  And we have enjoyed every minute of the journey!

 John invited Fred and I to go snorkeling today.  Fred said yes and I went along to watch (but not snorkel).  John had seen a dive boat at a tiny island just off the mouth of Sister Creek and wanted to see if the snorkeling there was any good.  The answer was a resounding yes.  The guys reported that was like swimming in an aquarium and that the fish, coral and sponges were amazing.  The water is just a bit cool, so Fred borrowed a spare “shorty” wetsuit (a wetsuit with short sleeve arms and legs that end just above the knee) from John and found that to be perfect.  We are going shopping tomorrow to see if we can find Fred his own shorty wetsuit.
