Another three hour tour

Our friends from Noblesville, Bill and Joyce arrived this morning, and we went out for a ride on the boat.  We were able to get through the "toilet bowl" in Tonic (just barely deep enough for us with the motors tilted up)
They were looking at the hundert decorated toilet seats marking the channel, but since I'd seen it all before, I was watching the water.  Half way through, there's a hole that's about 6 feet deep.  Since the water is crystal clear, I looked down in the hole to see a tarpon that's 5 feet long.  You can see him in this photo.

 


We went through Tavernier Creek, and out to Hen and Chickens Reef.  Phil and Cathie had taken their guests out for a day of snorkeling.  I think today was the calmest day on the ocean since we've been here.

We took Bill and Joyce on the standard three hour tour.  Back inside at Snake Creek (see Brown-O bOb's comment on my previous post) and on to Islamorada Fish Company for lunch.

 

 

Same old boring weather.  Sunny, high of 80 degrees, light breeze.  Ho hum.
