Tuesday - March 15, 2011

We left the boat about 9:30am and drove to Miami airport to pick up our son Alex and his girlfriend Jill) who are visiting for a week. The airport is about 100 miles from here but the roads are all single lane until we reached the Florida Turnpike and the speed limits alternate between 35 and 55. The Miami traffic is also a pain in the neck with a lot of construction going on. So It took us about 3 hours to get the airport. Their plane arrived at 11:45 but luckily by the time we got in the terminal they had just picked up their bags. They had flown overnight from Vancouver so they were a little tired.

The drive back to Marathon was a lot easier, since we were not in a rush. We stopped in Key Largo for a great lunch at a place called The Fisherman.

When we got back we showed Alex and Jill around and then took them over to their hotel which is just down the marina from us. We haven't seen them since and I suspect they are sleeping solidly.

Tonight we celebrated with Windsong, the 39th anniversery of our friends from Serendipity. We went over to the ??? toasted the sunset and had dinner. Lots of fun.
