Today the first in a line of "cold" fronts arrived. Though it was sunny, the temperatures were in the 60s, instead of the 70s and low 80s we had in December.
We took Lou and Judy on a tour of Marathon's many marinas to show them what kind of facilities are available here when they purchase a boat, as they hope to do in the near future. On our trip we stopped by Marathon City Marina to introduce them to Richard and Carol Walker, our friends aboard "Holiday VII" from Memphis, Tennessee. The Walkers have spent many winters here and are serious divers and snorkelers, and they advised George on where to buy the wetsuit and new snorkel he should purchase for his future lobstering plans. Richard wants to take George out to the marine sanctuary aboard his boat in the next few weeks to show him his favorite dive spots.
After lunch at "Herbie's" we drove around Key Colony Beach, Sombrero Beach, showed Lou and Judy the multitude of moorings at Boot Key Harbor City Marina, and even drove by the two houses we used to own here in Marathon. In the evening we decided to go to "Keys Fisheries" for dinner, but because it turned out to be too windy to sit on their outside deck, we changed our plans and instead had an absolutely wonderful Italian dinner inside the "Key Colony Inn". Judy even said that her dish was the best chicken dinner she had ever had!
