Past couple of weeks have been busy , busy ..it seems that way now many of my sailing friends have left Boot Key Harbor.

Jim and Pam on "Screech" F39 left a few days ago up Florida Bayside on there way to the Bahamas for a month or two . ( love to sail those waters someday -- maybe next year !)

Dick and Anne on "Greyhound" F33 headed down the Keys towards Key West and maybe out to the Dry Tortugas for awhile .

Mark flew in for a long weekend of great weather with some decent winds for him to savour before he left this morning back for Welland Ont. We finally had a day when we could snorkel out on the reef yesterday !! Lots of fish and the water was 79 but still a little murky from the 25 to 30 Knt winds of 3 days ago.. churns the sand up real good when it blows from the NE heavy. We had a great few days of sailing and I am sure Mark left with some good sailing under his belt. Mark is May's nephew and just started sailing last year on Lake Erie with his Sirius 18 sailboat.
