Marathon dinghy

Great news for cat lovers...........they're delicious! The report on the cruisers net this morning was that the black & white cat did belong on the boat on mooring A1. The first attached photo shows the trawler where the cat was found. The fourth sailboat to it's left is where the cat came from. Must have been almost a 500' swim.
We toured the area in our dinghy this afternoon. It's hard to get a feel for how many boats are in the harbor. The second photo represents about half of them.
While we were cruising around the harbor, we saw the small sailboat (16') we had seen rowing into the Little Shark River. We motored over to say hello and offered to take them ashore in our dinghy. They already had a friend on the way over to pick them up. I haven't spoken with Wayne Stearns this week, but he had debated coming down here in his 22' sailboat from Punta Gorda. After seeing the photos of the small boats at Little Shark, he knew he could make it.
Went through Sister Creek and out into the Atlantic. The third photo is of East Sister Rock.
We went up several canals today. Last week I got complaints that the iguanas in the trees were not very easy to see in my photos. I made a point to get closer today.
Later, I tried fishing, and caught a 24" snook. (a live one) Pam didn't have the camera ready, and I didn't have my Boca Grips, so there's no photo, but Pam can attest.
It is true.........signed Pam.
