Tried to wait at Boot Key Harbor for high tide at our marina at Vaca Key, White Marlin Marina. T storms were all morning, but Gary saw a split in the Weather later and thought we could make it. Jan drove under the power lines at the bridge but had to turn it over to Gary to get out and make it on course. It was so calm that we really could see lobster/crab pots every where. Gary took his position on the bridge to spot and I tried to keep us on course to the marina. We did fine till the last 20 minutes, a big storm was coming in fast. Gary made the turn and got us in our slip about a half our before it just poured. We are here! White Marlin in Marathon Key! Yea!

Amazing place. They have a pump-out boat that comes by once a week to pump you out. The City Marina has over 200 mooring balls. Everything is in walking distance, and dingys are like cars. We saw a Kayak wildlife tour on the way out.

Took my selfie on my last piloting leg, Happy Days
I wasn't sure before this trip if I could help Gary at all during transits. I had some bad moments, but I feel that I have pulled a little weight this trip. This is the happy times I dremed of. |
