Live-Aboards on the Yacht Back Dock

Sugarloaf Key: We decided to drive up to Marathon today to check out the turtle sanctuary and have lunch at what used to be Cabot’s on the Water, but which is now Frosty’s. We enjoyed lunch with views of the Atlantic. I had tilapia and Mike had oysters (yuk) and clam chowder. After lunch we walked around the marina and got talking to some people sitting on the afterdeck of their yacht. Really nice people. They’ve been traveling around for 2 years in their yacht. They spent last winter in the Bahamas and this year in the Keys. Drove up Marathon looking for The Hammocks where my sister and her husband are staying next December for a week. We finally found it after stopping at the Visitor Center on Marathon and they told us it was at MM48 on the bay side. A nice place. Took pictures and e-mailed them to her. We couldn’t see any turtles at the sanctuary until 4:00 so we decided to come back at a later date. Back home. Had salads for dinner. A beautiful day—80.
