Sunny, cooler
Lat/Lon 24 40.0 N, 81 17.9 W
We saw the Goodyear Blimp! You know it's Super Bowl time when you see that! Gee, where should we go to watch the Super Bowl? We gotta watch the Super Bowl! How about in Big Pine Key.
We stopped at Bahia Honda Key on the way down the next leg of the trip. Had a nice lunch in a peaceful little cove, which are rare down here. Bahia Honda is a state park. It has close dinghy access and hiking trails.
We got to Big Pine Key and dropped anchor in New Found Harbor about 4:30pm. We took the dinghy almost a mile to the Dolphin Marina where we left the dinghy tied to a dock. There was nobody around, so we just hoped it was ok to leave it there.
We caught a cab to Rob’s Island Grill where we got the LAST table available. We had dinner and drinks and watched the Super Bowl. It was very fun.
When we got back to the dinghy, about 10:30 pm, we realized we’d forgotten to bring any sort of light. So we had to dingy back, 1 mile across a big harbor, in the pitch dark. We were just hoping that we didn’t hit anything, and that nothing hit us! Boy, Officer Guererro would have had a hay day with us that night!
