Day #184: From last evening Mike and I finished watching The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. Up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit and Publix gourmet cinnamon roll (We love these and are going to miss them when we start moving again). At 8:10 A.M. Mike and I were pulling away from "Parrot Bay" in the dinghy heading for Don Pedro State Park. The shelling and shark teeth were awesome today on the beach. At 12:00 we returned to the boat with all of their treasures. Sunny, 82 and humid today so the pool was next on the agenda. While I were at the beach a manatee returned to the marina basin. As Mike and I were headed to the pool another large dolphin returned to the marina basin behind "Parrot Bay" chasing fish it was awesome and something that we never tire of seeing. Bruce and Bev came to the pool for a bit as they were waiting for Bev's sister and brother-in-law to come to the marina. David, Jan and family from "Optimystique" came to the pool for a bit. Ed and Kyle showed up for awhile enjoying the pool. Time for quiet time on "Parrot Bay" for the evening reading possibly time to start the Lord of the Rings series.
