our beach, March 31, ......... from P

My apologies to the lady on the boat near the beach at the western end of Boca Grande Key near the Marquesas island. I didn’t mean to make you put your bikini top back on. Yes, we were easing into the same gorgeous, wind protected beach lagoon to drop our anchor but we were not so close to you that we could “see anything.” So you really did not need to get dressed just for us. But it was really nice for you and a few other boater-visitors to leave so we could have the entire Boca Grande island to ourselves. C, K, and I very much enjoyed walking the beach among the wildlife protection areas. A pair of Bald Eagles were the only residents that took any interest in our wanderings. The big Loggerhead Turtle had already met us just outside the entrance channel and checked us over, seemingly announcing that we were about 20 miles west of Key West and on the way to his Tortuga islands. After exploring the island we moved Senara to a more protected anchor area, grilled a few of our fresh Wahoo steaks for dinner, watched the big orange ball show on the western horizon. I hope we didn’t chase you away, but I do thank you for letting us have our own exotic island for the afternoon.




K, and my brother C, at Boca Grande. Senara is waiting in the background.
