We never made it out of Marathon for our window mentioned on the last post. We saw a forecast for 6 foot waves over the Bahama banks the next day and we had planned to anchor there that day and sleep. So we changed our plans and decided to go to Rodruez and wait for a good window. A rusted out fuse holder stopped our starboard winches and we had to turn back.

So after fixing the winches we spent the next 2 days going to Publix, Kmart, CVS, West Marine, Winn Dixie. Then to Keys Fisheries for cheap Margaritas, Lobster and stone crab claws yum.

We had the delight of finally coming across our first group of dugongs while dinghying around to the stores. The are incridible and friendly creatures.
