Weather: We’ve enjoyed spring like weather for the week. The wind was variable ranged from calm to 30 knots during the week. The temps ranged from lows in the high 50s to the high 60s and the high temps ranged from the low 70s to the low 80s.

Comment: We had a great week! Joe and Dee visited. Joe likes to drive, and since they had a car, we went places that are out of reach by walking and biking. Dining highlights included 25 cent shrimp at Sparky’s, Pizza at the No Name Pub, fish sandwiches at the Islamorada Fish Company, Stone Crab Claws at The Keys Fishery, seafood at Schooners Warf in Key West, Beer Butt Chicken at Porky’s, cheeseburgers at the Marathon Elks Lodge, and a pig roast at the Dockside.

Activities included a trip to Deer Key to see the little Key Deer, walked Key West and viewed the Sunset, repair of the hydraulic steering (Marathon Boatworks), heard the Doerfel Family again (this time a the Hurricane), shopped at the Nautical Flea Market in Islamorada and the weekend flea market in Big Pine Key and went to the Marathon Community Movie house (Mall Cop), visited the Funston’s and watched the sunset from their dock at Marathon Marina.
We also toured local resorts and marinas on a scouting mission for the Fritz’s next boating destination to the Keys.

On Wednesday, the Fritz’s dropped us off at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. We taking advantage of a $9.00 flight home aboard Spirit Airlines (round trip for two including taxes and seats in a little over $100.00). We’ll be back aboard SUNSHINE early Sunday morning. The Fritz's are heading home after a most enjoyable visit. We hope they can return for another leg of the trip.
