We weighed anchor after a restful night. It was a short trip to Lignumvitae Key. We had wanted to walk the guided tour last time we were here but they weren't doing the tours until December due to mosquitoes. The weather was nice and we were going to anchor but the reviews on Navionics said you should use the mooring balls. So we did that. It went so easy with me at the helm and Ed reaching over the lifelines at midship to thread our line through the lanyard on the ball. So quick! We relaxed and looked on line about the park hours, cost etc., only to find out that the tours (and doing the walks without a ranger is prohibited) are only available Friday through Sunday. This is Thursday and we really didn't want to hang out here on the ball for a day and night. So we left the ball and went a short distance to Shell Key. We anchored and enjoyed a nice kayak and dinghy paddle around the island. It was beautiful (as they all are). It turned out to be a very nice stop!
off we go!
