It's 3:00 PM Easter Sunday and I've checked in to the La Jolla resort on Islamorada. After covering 20 miles in 21 hrs I'm exhausted. If I were to keep this pace up, and weather held, I would complete my Keys circumnavigation in 10-12 days. After having my beach slumber interrupted by "Billy the Preacher, at 0330 and "Eastern Ireland Paradaise Cafe for breakfast".... I proceeded to haul ass until 3:00 PM this afternoon. Today a spied a jumping Marlin, sting ray, and multiple seagulls, while thinking about sharks.
My right hand is beginning to develop a blister. Working through it is the plan for now... I'll save the mits for paella, later. Big event for the day was the lost capability of my nautical GPS. Somehow the GPS slipped under my seat and the screen cracked, rendering it unreadable. I'll drop by the Marina tomorrow, in the hope that they have waterproof NOAA Keys maps in stock. I'm looking forward to the purist challenge of navigating by map and coast line. Screw digital.... makes the mind weak:-) But Blogspot sure is fun!
Going old school with a map, eh? Sounds fun! Love the updates, love you!
