Larry was up early and left a bit before us. We had to take the dog to shore etc. Pretty heavy fog for awhile but the sun burned it off as soon as it was over the tree tops. 

We made a short stop at Hontoon Island to fill the fresh water tanks.

Larry gave us a shout when he reached Lake Monroe Park…it’s funny how some things just work out right.  As they we getting near the park the people from Marine World warned them that there was a dolphin in the area and they were going to catch it and take it to Marine World to be checked out. It had been spotted in Lake Monroe..I guess they are supposed to be in salt water so they were concerned about her.  Larry got some photos. I will post them when he sends them to me.

A quick trip to the house and retrieved the supplies…back on the water and headed N by 4 or so.  We are anchored near G97 in Emanual Bend.  Pretty sunset with this bird silhouetted against the night sky.  We should be in  the Astor, FL area tomorrow… and possibly in Welaka on Sunday afternoon.

We spent the day cruising and checking out gators.  Jim and I took a side trip up Blue Creek. We were surprised to see 2 Sandhill Cranes on the waters edge. There were 2 racoons on the lawn across the canal. The lady who lived there offered to call in a hawk but my camera was blinking “low battery” so I had to pass.

We arrived in Silver Glen Springs fairly early and the sun was warm and the water just right.  Had a nice swim..got the anchors all set and took a short nap…a few minutes later, Larry dingied over to tell us some important medical stuff had been left at the truck or home…so we hauled anchor and headed back S. We anchored by G3, behind the island. Treated to a beautiful sunset.

Lake Monroe Park tomorrow.
