On Thursday, July 7th we left Marco Island and headed south and east to Marathon. We are members of the Marathon Yacht Club and enjoy hanging at our home club. They have a nice new pool and great food. What more could you ask for. The cruise was bumpy for the first hour then it just got worse. Three to four foot waves with short intervals on the bow, this went on for two hours. The weather people said slight chop, but forgot to tell us about the white capped waves! Just sayin...they lied! Unfortunately, we were half way there. Then as we were a one hour out of Marathon the waves settled right down and it was smooth cruising. After we arrived I noticed my fitbit had logged 6 miles. And I'm sure I walked way less than a mile as I was on the boat the whole time. This is a new way to log miles. By this time we were pretty beaten up so Friday we just hung out at the boat and relaxed. By Saturday we were ready to head out for some snorkeling at one of favorite spots Sombrero Reef. There were tons of fish on the reefs. I was able to get tons of great photos with my new underwater camera. We tried to go out again on Monday and the weather just wasn't cooperative. We looked at the weather over the next week and for the forseeable future and Tuesday was the only good day to head home. So we left Marathon and headed home. We had a great ride home.
