Are you wondering???




Where we are?  We still have signal and we're going to take advantage of it!!

We're back in Rookery Bay after a very nice sail (even though we had hoped to go further south).  When we left Ft Myers we felt we were styling on a nice course.......but the wind kept coming more and more behind us and we jibed out into very sloppy seas.......the wind died (as in every wind shift) and Grey Hound just had to deal until better breeze came in.....in the meantime we saw our first sea turtle in the open water!!!!!  Talk about big and cool!!!! ---Teagan, we swear that turtle is related to Rebel!!!!

  Nice swells about 3-4'
 Grey Hound running at 7-9 kts with dolphins off our stern and ...........(ok, we're nerds, immature Northern Gannets) 

Also......life on the hook is pretty neat.  This place has Ospreys flying everywhere.  Just about anytime you look up you get to see one!  We have also seen two bald eagles just down the way.  It's great to have a chance to see things that most can only see on TV or in books.

Now........where's the crocks??!!
