Fun At Sea And Land

We have been waiting for the perfect day to go out with friends Barb and Barry in Coqui and wow, yesterday was it! Since all of us, including our famous Boat Boy Jim, have been vaccinated for Covid (although 'youngster' Dave has only had one shot), we could go out and enjoy the day without worries or masks. We launched at Sandsprit Park in Port Salerno, and went down the ICW to Peck Lake. The smart boaters that we all are, we anchored with the bow into the wakes, and tied the stern to shore, so we could all get off and go over to the ocean beach. We had a spectacular walk with very few other people around, although it did start to get a touch busier when we left. Jim and Dave went swimming, but Jim refrained from body surfing this time so neither one of them came out bloody...which is good, because a large hammerhead shark washed up on Jensen Beach yesterday, so they are out there. We all brought picnic lunches and ate and chatted before meandering on our way. The chivalrous guys were in the sunny bow allowing us ladies to be under the shade of the bimini top.

After a stop at the sandbars by the inlet to explore the trails in the mangroves, we took a cruise through Manatee Pocket before hauling the boat out.

We sure were happy but tired boaters at the end of the day. What a fun adventure that we hope to repeat again soon!
