Said goodbye to Timone today. She wasn’t doing well in the cold water so the good people from the turtle hospital came and picked her up. She has been in the marina with us for five years. We will miss her nightly sunset appearances and look forward to her return!

Tough couple of days on the islands. The shallow waters of Florida Bay were no match for the frigid temps. The threshold temp for most local fish is about 57degrees and our waters are very near that temp now. Fish are dead, manatees, and sea turtles are struggling.

After a few gray days we were rewarded with dolphins and a gorgeous sunset!

Some people have birds or squirrels hopping from power lines to trees but here we have 20lbs iguanas.

The first bit of blue after two days of gray dreary rain.

Manatees, sea turtles, and puppies! Who do you sunset with?

A young manatee checked me out while I was out on a mangrove clean up in the clear kayak. Normally the younger guys are shy so I was surprised when he came back and swam right under me.

Sometimes it looks like it is burning right through the mangrove islands.

My front yard and primary vehicle. Life is short, might as well enjoy the view.

Not especially fond of out of focus photos but I keep coming back to this one. When I think of being under the mangroves this is always the image that comes to mind.
