Bahia Honda State Park

We spent a fantastic day at Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys.  We got up early and just missed the sunrise over the Atlantic. After a big breakfast we cycled around the park and then along the shore a couple of miles to the corner store to buy milk and bread.  We didn't really need it but it was a good excuse to get out there and stretch our legs and it was such a nice ride.

The day was spent hanging around the dock or snorkling or walking the beach.  We were docked right by the concession stand and we had people walking up and down in front of the boat all day, checking it out, curious, dreaming.  Often, without seeing us onboard, people would stop to take a picture in front of the boat. I remember doing that so many times before I was a boat owner .  Jeff or I would come out and chat them up to answer questions.  We had several people delighted to be invited onboard for a picture on the bow or sitting in the captains seat and we had a lot of fun doing it.

One boat with folks from Winnipeg came in and Jeff helped them dock behind us.  Unfortunately, they ended up in front of the pump out station and had to move as people needed to access it.  Once the gentleman got his boat out in the middle of the little harbour it stalled, which was NOT a good place to be stalled and drifting, with boats everywhere.  Jeff was able to jump in our dingy and tow him to the dock safely.  Yet another towing adventure for Gran Vida!
