We had 3 days in a row of sunshine.  Amazing!  It is overcast today but quite warm.
we have been hanging out with loopers lately.  Our friends Ralph and Linda have a son who is getting married this week in Key West and we got to meet the couple who are tying the knot.
We have also had friends here with us for a couple days.  Phillis and Bill.   They went down to Key West yesterday with the in tension of taking the seaplane over to the dry Tortugas.  The weather has not been good so they were unable to fly.  They did spend the night down there though.  Can't wait to hear about their adventure.  It is on our list to go there.
As I was looking around for something interesting to write about I saw the plaque  on the boat with the information about the building of it.  It says GB 42, meaning that it is a Grand Banks and that it is 42 feet long.  Hull #701.  Built by American Marine Limited Singapore.  Then it says  "Tin Hau  Goddess of the sea"  and it has a little picture.  I thought that was pretty cool.
Anyway, we have had lovely sunsets and many manatee sightings.  One, early the other morning of a momma and baby under our friends boat.  She was drinking the water coming out of the side of the boat which was not fresh water but I think she was going for the warmth.  It was a cold morning.
Still having fun in the keys.
After dinner at the Sunset Grill.

Sunset at the foot of 7 mile bridge heading to Key West.

Man and dog napping.
