Little Marco Island

Our home for a couple of days

Path to the Gulf
  What a great day! We set sail around 8:00 this morning and arrived in this lovely body of water called Little Marco Pass around 3:00p.m. (25 degrees, 59.656, W 81 degrees 45.080 )  We have anchored in some quiet water close to a beach that has a pathway to  the Gulf. On the way over today, we saw frigate birds (a first for me--they're huge birds with scissor tails); we had several dolphins escort us into the pass; and Barry did some fishing from the back of the boat. He caught a ......seagull! The poor gull was attached to the lure. Barry reeled the bird in, just like a kite, and managed to release the hook so the gull could fly away unharmed. I couldn't watch. I walked the beach on the Gulf side and collected shells for our grandson--some good finds, nothing exotic. Then the two of us watched the sunset together. Looking forward to a simple dinner and some spectacular stars. What a wonderful day in paradise! We'll stay here tomorrow while Barry works on the boat and I sit on the beach.
