Shopping via dink

We dropped the dink off the transom for the first time in what seems like 2 months and used it to go shopping. It took quite a while to get the gas back into the carb but once there it ran fine all day.
I should have brought the GPS so everyone could follow along, all in all the trip was about 10 miles. If you use google earth, start where we ended up, hang a left at the marina entrance, and then take your first left into the housing areas. Follow that around heading south and then east to Little Munion Island. Then continue south under the bridge to the first marina on the right. Then come back the same way because the water is rough on the lake. Except use the east side of the lake since the wind was out of the north east and we didn't want to get soaked. Wet was enough, soaked is not good.

We saw another manatee while in the dink but were unable to get near it. They are really quite shy from our experience anyway.

But you know you are getting south when you see a 4 foot Iguana hanging out on a tree soaking up the sun with his throat puffed out. Deb was not interested in putting the dink under it. Neither was I in reality, I merely suggested the idea to get a reaction. Note to self- lay off the Iguana deal...

If you are in Riviera Beach Fla, and need boating related items, Boaters Warehouse is where you want to go. Several maintenance items and one expensive other item, an EPIRB. It has GPS built into it so our location goes along with the emergency signal. Let's all hope we don't need to use this.

So tomorrow we'll sit tight clean things up as well as make other preparations.
