Yesterday we had a fabulous sail from Tarpon Basin to Lignumvitae Key. Lignumvitae is actually one of the last remnants of what the explorer's saw when they first made landfall in Florida. The only thing that saved this island is the tree that the island is named for .........the wood from the lignumvitae tree is so dense it won't float!!!! Grey Hound was coursing well and she found her friend Comocean!... since we met up again with Dottie and Irwin we have no pictures of the island! .........But we had a nice dinner aboard Grey Hound and we feel those guys can teach us so much!!!!
