It is a pretty spot with one lone palm and some sea grape bushes (?), and it was only about 300 yards around. When we arrived there was a couple walking a small dog, but we chased them off so that we could have it all to ourselves. The sky in the photo is about two thirds black, which quickly turned out to be threatening and loud (thunder). So, we waded some and finally decided to load our lunch back up and head to the shelter of Lucky Us...
This photo of the Admiral is in the opposite direction as the first, and you can see a friendlier sky back toward Lucky Us, which is docked near the tall building on the right. After lunch on board, we walked downtown to the Post Office to send some mail - don't get your hopes up unless your name is Sarah, Will or Katie Spang (our Grandkids). Well after all that exercise, it was time for -you guessed it- a nap...
The last picture of the day is of a Black Skimmer. The marina is all floating docks so the tide flows through it keeping the water quite clean, which definitely helps the bird count as they find lots of small baitfish swimming around. So, Great Egrets walk the docks and catch fish while the pelicans fly up and down the channels between the long piers. The Admiral is a "birder" in the sense that she likes to identify the birds, but while I don't care about the names, I definitely enjoy watching them!
For dinner we followed the well worn path back to the old downtown for dinner at a nice local pizzeria/Italian restaurant.
