Gone Fishing
Bob and Gena's empty chairs Wednesday, 16 January, 2013
Monday morning we got up early and enjoyed the sun coming up over the Atlantic Ocean. Bob and Gena were already out fishing, but had left their chairs behind at our campsite. Once they got back (fishless) we had breakfast together. Later we all went across the road where Gena, Bob and Kerry waded out into the Bay and fished some more. Bob caught the only fish, a small barracuda and a small lizard fish. Late in the afternoon Bob and Gena waded out into the ocean and fished some more, still no fish.
Tuesday we were up early again. I love watching the sun rise while drinking my coffee and enjoying the ocean breezes. Then to the ballfield for softball, where I kept the score book for the first half of the game. Everyone played a bit better than Sunday and were again a bit stiff afterwards. We had lunch at the Hurricane before heading back to camp. We checked out a fishing spot recommended by Alex, and Bob, Gena and Kerry went back there after getting their fishing gear and dropping me at camp. Alas, still no fish.

The three fisherfolk
Fishing in Florida Bay before sunrise this morning to try again to catch some fish for dinner tonight. They took their canoe and went to Alex’s secret fishing spot, but …wait for it… still no fish. So after breakfast we drove into Marathon. There we stopped first at Keys Fisheries and bought some fish for supper. Then on to Boot Key Harbor, where we showed Bob and Gena around. We were happy to see our sign is still up, as is Sara and Trevor’s. Then it was a drive to Sombrero Beach before a quick trip to the grocery before heading back to the campground.
After lunch (avocado salad,) Gena and I walked the beach looking for sea beans and other treasures from the sea. As I write this, Bob is frying fish, so another delicious dinner is coming up.

Water looks beautiful and you are right Charlie, what could be prettier than watching the sun come up over the Atlantic?
