Manatee Pocket, FL 031816

 There they are!  My big boys!  I can't wait to see them!
Harford County beats Baltimore County and
wins the Championship!  Go Jack!
Top row, 3rd from left!!!
 Last picture of our Happy Hour place with Ed and Mena!
Ed & Mena bought the boys these for Easter!
She said I could do whatever I wanted with them....so I'm
going to open them and fill them with love for the boys!
This is the bridge we waited for the other day when we were on foot
Feels good to be back on this side of it in the water!
 Mena and Ed were going to meet us here at the light house but
we were too slow and missed them....but they were still heading north
we had a second chance!
 Great day for playing in the water today!
 People were everywhere!
 Nice picture of a church in the background
OK...Mena and Ed rode their bicycles all the way to Hobe and
we only missed them by about 2 hours!  Missed a bridge!!
 Gary & Jayne doing the Hopper thing!
This is one beautiful catamaran
and!!
it has a stainless steel anchor!
Ask me if Bob was jealous :-) 
 Do you see the egret standing at the end of the pier
He's blending in with the boat!
Two pelicans drying

You don't see a lot of boats from Bel Air, MD
They gave us some fish when we stopped and said hello
Finally got my fish!! 
 Dream Catcher
Cute little Looney Tunes
 Bob says I'm guilty of all 5....
He's sorry he said it now...    :-)
 Bar hopping
 These guys were kind enough to let us sit at their table...
The one on the left would cover his face whenever a picture was taken
I finally called him on it.....he said "I'm not a very nice guy....I'm wanted
and I'm trying not to be found"......OKAY says a me :-)


We left this morning around 11 a.m. for Manatee Pocket and arrived there around 4 or so.  We saw Gary and Jayne as soon as we pulled in.  Gary was working....he drives a boat around for tourist and Jayne happened to be with him today.  They didn't get off work until 7 so we met them at one of the local bars.  By the time the night was over with I believe we hit every local bar there was!  We (Jayne & I) also lost a few games of pool.  But we tried really hard!  :-)

While we were waiting for Jayne & Gary to finish working Bob and I drove around a bit in the dinghy.  We saw a sportsfish called Reel Toy out of Bel Air, MD so we stopped by to say hi.  One of the guys was Austin Ensor from Bel Air VFC and the other guy was Danny Jones.  Austin is graduating from Salisbury College this semester...great job Austin!  And!, they gave us some fresh fish they caught in the Bahamas by Chub Cay!  It doesn't get any better than that!

As luck would have it, after about 4 hours of driving this morning the starboard engine started leaking oil AGAIN.  Come to find out it was the leak that originally started when we first left in the fall of last year.  It is coming from the fuel injector pump shim/gasket.  That is on the front of the engine so now Bob has to take that part of the engine apart to try and fix it.  Right now it's not that bad so we are going to wait until it's absolutely necessary.  It seems like this is never ending and I can't wait to get home!

Gary is working tomorrow so we are taking off in the morning.
