We really settled into our community life here in our beautiful winter home this week as the temperatures again moderated to the usual 70s, rather than the abnormal 50s we experienced last week. Unfortunately, however, those cold fronts also brought down the water temperatures to the 50s causing much harm to the reef fish and sea turtles who had a tough time surviving in the 20 -30 degree cooler water. We saw literally hundreds of small dead fish on the Gulf side, and know that many sea turtles have been rescued and taken to the local Turtle Hospital to be sheltered and cared for.
Some of our activities this week included going out for dinner at "The Cracked Conch" followed by the movie, "It’s Complicated" at the Marathon Cinema, and attending a "Meet and Greet" for all boaters in Marathon underneath the Tiki Hut at Boot Key Harbor City Marina with Sallyann and Andrew and dinner afterward at "Sparky's Landing" in Key Colony Beach. Pat also investigated some of the "shopping venues" in town with Sallyann, ordered new eyeglasses at a local optical shop, and accomplished the delicate job of finding a new hairdresser for our time here. George continued to chip away at his continuous "To Do" list on "Reflection", and we also prepared for our visit from his sister, Pat, and brother-in-law, Al, who are arriving tomorrow.
