Wednesday was a fun day. We left Key Lois and had a cooked breakfast while under way. We were headed for Pelican Shoals, a favorite lobstering site. Lobstering is fun in the keys. The lobsters here are spiney lobsters...instead of claws they have boney whips coming out of the front of their heads. Although that may sound sedate they can move...fast...in reverse. We also catch them while snorkeling as using scuba for lobstering is against Florida Sea Base policy. The crew was having such a great time that they decided to continue lobstering rather than go for an afternoon dive. Everyone participated, including Denny, Holly, Megan and Dave and the total count was 21 lobsters. We'll have 'surf n' turf' on Thursday night; lobster and steaks.
Wendesday is also our mid-week break back at the marina where we started. Here everyone can get a shower and there's no anchor watch. The best part is we sleep in air conditioning! The crew opted to go out to dinner so they walked a few blocks to the Rusty Anchor. After dinner they took a walk to the local 'Stop and Rob' (local market) for some after dinner treats.
