Smooth Trip Home

Up anchor near 9:30 this AM.  Ran the genny for the A/C.  Caught several fish this morning before we left, no keepers.  We saw a very large snook under the dock--same one we saw a small alligator under last weekend.  Gail caught a few fish on her sambiki rig--too funny to watch.

We hope to have our fish finder (depth sounder) module replaced this week.  It seems odd to be running around without knowing how deep we are running.  We have only traveled in familiar waters at this point--and will stay that way until we are fully equipped to explore new places.

The most fun is just watching what is going on around us.  We walked to the beach and found these osprey.  The dinghy was the mode of choice to get back into a protected pocket where the manatee were so close Gail thought that they may "snot" on us.  Of course, we stopped on the way back home to fish.  The best fish I caught was in our own canal as I was cleaning up the boat.  Gail saw Jacks in the canal and I pitched a gold spoon--1 cast, 1 16 inch Jack--fun!

We will likely stay at home the next couple of weekends, but may try some day trips.
