We had been anchored in a small harbor, called Community Harbor, in Tavernier, for a couple of weeks. Met some nice people there that live at the marina full-time. They built themselves a tiki hut and they get together to have their own happy hour every afternoon.
This manatee was hanging around for a couple of days.
We were talking with some of you at the Gaslight a few nights ago when Tom fired the cannon at the sunset watchers on shore. They all got a kick out it.
We are now anchored in view of the new high-bridge that was completed last year. It takes US 1 from the mainland to Key Largo, over Jewfish Creek. We took a hike to the top of the bridge (a little scary with the traffic whizzing by us).
This is Gilbert's resort/hotel/marina/tiki bar, now located under the bridge.
That's Lady Triana WAAAAAAY out there.
How much of our tax $$$ do you suppose went to put that name in the concrete there, just in case you don't know where you are when you're driving over it???
This osprey took advantage of a great view, but it doesn't look to me like her kids would get a very good night's sleep here!
