VIEW FROM OUR DINNER SPOT,  SYLVIA 'HOUSE IN THE BACKGROUND 



MEMORY OF A PAST DINNER WITH ELDRIDGE FAMILY : LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WHOL GANG BEING TOGETHER AGAIN AND SHARING AN EXQUISITE MEAL AT THE LOHMANNS.

Up at 6:30 and out the door by 6:45. First thing I saw was Joan's message about my blog. Always good to hear from her and Gordon.They inspire me to keep writing. ❤️.

 Old glory drooped from its pole by the marina this morning. No wind in marina. I love seeing the flag proudly flying but  drooping is good when I want to board.The direction today is S/SE. Perfect.

 Moving up and down the canals was beautiful. I noticed today that ,because the water was so motionless except for the ripples I was making, the reflection of the boats 🚣‍♂️ both hanging from their lifts and floating at their docks was mesmerizing. One boat was artfully decorated with a variety of dolphins 🐬, the fish. The colors were so bright.The eyes of the fish (painted ones) seemed to be staring at me. That one had an incredible reflection. The variety of colors and fish sizes reflected so clearly. 

The palm trees also reflected. If I only had my phone, I could take photos of these sites. The. again, i wouldn't have another hand to take that photo. 

Today I also noticed so many people on their roof top decks watching the sunrise 🌅 which was so pretty with clouds trying to hide it. Sunrise took a while as the sun peeked bit by bit.

Many waves were received. I said hello. Using my hands would not be a good idea. 💡. Balance is the key, and I wasn't about to fall in with an audience. 

I continued on to the entrance of the marina and ventured out a bit. Nothing to see there except the seemingly endless Gulf, sea of blue. I need to look at a chart to see what is exactly Northwest of us. I'm thinking, the Everglades. 

As I headed out of the protected area, I noted the sign indicating "Beware of the Crocodiles". Now, that sign is not very calming when one is on an inflatable paddleboard. A man at the dock saw me. He said: I bave lived here since 2012 and I have never 👎 seen one. That is good to know. He is from Canada and was in the mood to chat. He was able to get to Florida and cross the forbidden Canadian border by flying from Toronto to Fort Lauderdale and having his car 🚘 shipped . He said it was worth it to get to warm weather. 8 people were on the island near the tiki bar fishing and watching sunrise.
