January 7 - Little Shark River to Marathon, FL

We left our anchorage at 8:00 a.m. and headed southward to the Six Mile Bridge, located just to the west of Marathon. The  seas were smooth with  winds around 5 mph. As we entered the harbor of Marathon, we were welcomed by a school of dolpins. Some of them swam for a few minutes along our boat. We continued on to Burdine's Marina and Restaurant for our slip assignment. Shortly after having tied-up, we were welcomed by friends from Grand Rapids, MI. Kirk/Lynne and Tim/Nancy Rottschafer had been out fishing and stopped by to say hello. At 6:30 p.m. we got together for a glass of wine, followed by a fish dinner at a nearby restaurant. The Rottschafers had taken along the filets of some 12 fish caught earlier in the day. Some were fried, others were broiled and yet others were prepared with a delicious topping (the specialty of this restaurant). These were served together on one very large tray. Everything was so good that nothing was left behind. What a way to finish this great day. Once back at the boat, Les and Jane started packing since they were returning to Bonita Springs on Sunday morning.
