Exploring Marathon




Every morning at 9 they have a cruisers net over the VHF radio. They ask who is new to the harbor, where you're from etc. I gave our info, and in just a few minutes, we had people from Kokomo, IN and Greenwood, IN visiting our boat. The Colts flag helped them locate us. We ended up having dinner with them and two other couples. So far this seems to be one of the friendliest places we've been.
We took our bikes ashore but couldn't find an empty spot on the rack. We locked them to a tree around the corner. The dinghy dock in this photo is not where we tie ours. We use the newer bigger one.
We rode the bikes up and down US1 from K Mart to Daffy Doug's discount dollar store. There's everything on this island.

Steve and Sharon Cavanaugh are renting a house about 5 miles from here and they arrived today. They also joined the group for dinner. They brought a fishing boat and we will launch it tomorrow and see if any fish survived the cold weather.
Our boat is in the third photo.
