We cannot come to Cape Haze without a daily visit to Don Pedro State Park. It is only about a 15-minute dinghy ride, either down the ICW or through the back channel, flanked by interesting homes and boats. The park offers dockage for 12 vessels, covered pavilion, and restroom facilities for, now, $2.00 per person per day. Once there, there are miles of beach for walking and also for us fantastic sharks’ teeth collection. Admittedly, depending on tide, wind and other factors, some days are better than others. During this month-long trip, we were at the beach five days, for about three hours per day. This resulted in a total of 1,414 teeth, with over 400 on Monday alone. Conditions were perfect. Patty even found one tooth about half the size of her thumb. It was a record haul for us.
We leave for Pelican tomorrow morning, one step closer to our home. We plan on being back in the slip on Thursday for a few days. This will give us several days to “turn around” the boat as we plan to go out again Monday for a couple of nights with our friends and neighbors, Brian and Barb, on board. The boat definitely needs some cleaning and reorganizing.
Tonight may be our first rain shower. It’s been predicted before during the trip, but we’ve seen no rain. April is certainly making up for our terrible winter weather. This may be our best April ever.
