The dolphin photos reminded me of something. Every time you take someone new or different with you, as they get to see things the first time, you get to experience thaqt seeing for the first time feeling again. Dolphins will never become old, but I'm sure sharing them with your granddaughter took the pleasure of seeing them much higher.

Yes your right. I've seen hundreds of dolphins in my wake but this was the first time she's seen them. Put I must say it was the best show I've ever seen.

Greetings,
We've been accompanied by dolphin on numerous occasions and it never gets old and I can imagine the thrill the young lady experienced with her first sighting/meeting. Some day I hope to see this in person. Just larger dolphins...

Good to hear about your trip again. Key weird is a great place to disconnect. Are you coming up thru marathon when you go up the east coast? If you are maybe you can stop at Harbour Cay Club? We are on the gulfside south of faro blank marina. Check our web site. Harbour Cay club.org.

Great to see your up and running and back on line. Going out on the boat tomorrow for a cruise and dinner. Temperatures in the mid 70's. Gotta love these Tennessee winters.

In Key West waiting to go north

We are on stock island marina key west. We've been here for a month. We only got to go out 4 or 5 times as it's been windy. It's not so bad going out in a little wind but coming back and docking can be tricky. A lot of people never go out just sit around on their boats.
We have tied off to mourning balls and snorkeled. We've caught yellow tail for dinner each time. Great fish.
