Well, after three more days of taking it easy, it looked like we would finally be able to get underway again tomorrow. The forcast was good for several days out, and we would be able to make it down to Little Shark River, and then on to Marathon Key the next day.
Although we had originally planned to sail around the Gulf side to Key West, after hearing about the conditions in the mooring field there (rough, and a long dinghy ride in), and the lack of good anchorages, we decided to head directly to Marathon instead, and take a bus ride to Key West as a day trip.
Joan told me that several of our new friends were ordering pizza in the clubhouse tonight, as it was our last night together.
As we all gathered around, Jerry stood by the pizzas and said he'd like to offer a blessing before we ate. But what he said was... HAPPY BIRTHDAY ED!!
Joan had managed to organize a surprise birthday party for me and I didn't have a clue! I haven't been surprised like that for years! They had even brought chocolates and Key Lime Pie.
