With two good travels days forecasted, we were off to start
our two day journey to the Florida Keys.
Today we are heading South with Midas Touch alongside, travelling
along the coast of the Everglades National Park about three or four miles offshore. We are headed to anchor in Shark
River (catchy name, eh?) which is another wilderness anchorage in the
Everglades. It is known for it’s
wildlife, so NOT a swimming day for sure, although the water looks lovely.
As we pulled in to the anchorage there were about a dozen or so dolphins in the midst of a feeding frenzy. Again a bunch came and visited the boat, swimming in the bow wake and putting on a show for us. Other than birds, that's the only wildlife we saw, although I'm pretty sure I saw something big thrashing around for a couple of seconds across the way. An alligator maybe?
The stars were amazing and we wanted to spend some time on the flybridge enjoying them but the bugs were too hungry. It was an easy in/easy out overnight stop. Early to bed and ready for another day of travel tomorrow.
