Aquamarina Palm Harbour Marina in Cape Haze, Florida

Day 163: Up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit and sweet treats. Mike and I prepared the dinghy for departure at 8:15 A.M. we were headed to Don Pedro State Park. Both of us spent 4 hours walking the beach collecting shark teeth and shells. On the way back to the boat there were three manatee in the intercoastal waterway followed by a single manatee just ahead of Mike and I. We returned to the boat at 12:15 P.M. The two of us headed to the pool enjoying time reading books. Scott from "Ramble On" joined Mike and I at the pool. At 3:30 P.M. Bruce and Bev joined the party. Bev had been sick yesterday but she was feeling much better today. Bev and Bruce were very kind bringing Mike and I a Christmas present and there was an exchange of Christmas cards as well.  After dinner it was time for blogging, reading and relaxation.
                                                                                   
              Heading out of the marina this morning was this osprey. Don't boat where the birds walk.
