Marco Island to the keys

Well the trip to Smokehouse Bay Marco Island from caya costa  went pretty uneventful except the last 10 miles ( I swear if there's a storm within 15 miles I will run into it ) the storm passed pretty quickly but with 35 knots sustained winds and 8 foot seas it was not fun  but we made it safe and sound. we enjoyed our time at Marco Island a really neat and clean little island but because of weather ended up staying about 3 or 4 days more than we planned on we left Marco and headed for little Shark River we actually got to do a little sailing ☺ Little Shark River is literally in the middle of nowhere very quiet we didn't experience too many bugs I guess the wind was on our side after a nice breakfast the next day we were on our way to marathon the first three or four hours the wind was right or nose then it came out of the east then it was a fairly good sail  all the way to Marathon. Since then we've been doing all the tourist things going to the beach, Key West, and a really nice little preserve in Marathon called crane Point we are looking forward to this weekend are boys will be down to visit us we will be in Marathon till the end of October then it's off to the Bahamas :)
