Day 62
Sunrise
Rowan and David were going fishing on a Charter Boat. I was dropping them off and then taking E T for a swim at Sombrero Beach. The Captain cancelled the trip, because there were not enough people.
The Sea King is a new business/boat that David had gone out on last week. He liked the Captain and Mate. He also caught a lot of fish with them. They just don’t have a good reputation yet and don’t advertise widely enough. So, we went down the road and signed them up for an afternoon charter on the Sea Dog. This is a tourist favorite. David isn’t real fond of going with them. Reason being, tourists aren’t usually serious about fishing, it’s mostly about the boat ride. When the Captain and Mate sense this, they don’t always try to hard to find fish. My favorite part of going to the Sea Dog dock is the parrot. I’ve posted his photo before. As soon as we got there I started looking for him. A worker asked me if I was looking for the rest room. I said “No, the parrot!” “Oh! he’s in the garbage can”, I’m told. Sure enough! There he was picking through the trash. He had taken quite a liking to a Budweiser Beer Can Box and was very entertaining. When we left he surprised us by say “Bye”!
So, we all took E T to Sombrero Beach for her morning dip. When we got back to Curry Hammock we spent the morning Kayaking. We started out in the canal, went through the mangroves and out into the Atlantic Ocean. This is a fun paddle trail. Check out the slideshow.
David and Rowan had a great time fishing all afternoon. #1 they caught a lot of fish … 16 keepers! #2 They saw 2 sea turtles, a pod of dolphin and a huge bull shark. #3 It was a beautiful calm day out on the water. No photos, because their ace #1 photographer was back at the ranch blogging 🙂
After supper we headed down to Sunset Beach in Key Colony Beach … to watch the sunset.
A beautiful ending to a beautiful day.
That looks like a lot of fun I wish I was there
