Crane Point

 We woke to a sunny sky, warm temperatures and a soothing breeze.  After a relaxing morning it was time to place the dinghy in the water and venture out.  We motored to Banana Bay, this is where Rick and Colleen spent the winter and we wanted to check it out. 

Paul, the dock master, is very friendly and gave us the lay of the land. We were out of fresh fruit and it was time to find a Publix that was located ½ mile down the road. It was a walk just to get from the docks to U.S. 1, but to our big surprise, there it was, the big unmistakable Orange Building, Home Depot, it was all JP could do to contain himself.  Diane promised him that we would go there, just not now.  After securing fresh fruit, veggies and bread, we walked back, found some ice and returned to Moonstruck. 

Meeting our first Marathon Yacht Club Member

After lunch it was off to check out Marathon Yacht Club, as another front is heading our way and the weather is going to turn very windy with rain and a blow, we thought we may go into a marina, along with the need to dispose of trash and do some laundry.  While we were at Marathon YC, it was a short stroll to West Marine; One of the exciting treasure hunts of cruising is to locate every West Marine on your way. A swim, shower, sundowner  and another good day cruising.
