Plantation Key and Islamorada, FL

Saturday we left  Faro Blanco and headed out into the Atlantic, we cruised out about 7 miles offshore hoping to catch some big fish! Didn't happen. About 15 miles from Islamorada we turned into Hawks Channel and low and behold I hooked up a nice sized Spanish Mackerel, we now had fresh fish for dinner!
We got into Plantation Marina, filled up with fuel, and got tied up by 4pm.  Saturday nights sunset was spectacular! The picture was taken right off the back of the boat. This marina is part of the cities, Founders Park.  The facilities are terrific, besides the usual there is an Olympic size pool, tennis courts, baseball fields, dog park and a beautiful  beach.  It is a great place to hang out waiting for a weather window,  it is supposed to blow hard (22-27 mph) again until Friday.  Our slip is well protected so we should be fine!

Today after some morning chores we were off on our bikes to check out the area, Islamorada has nice bike lanes.  We road 5 miles one way to a favorite water side establishment, The Lorelei, for lunch and a beer. Tonight will  sear some tuna steaks on the grill and watch another sunset!
Cheers
