Marc- Today we mostly hiked to the beach and took it easy organizing the boat a bit. The hike to the beach is 2.5 miles one way. We passed many beautiful homes built to the new hurricane building code such that the are elevated on cement piers ten feet from the ground and made of concrete. That bein said the homes came in many different styles and finishes.
Sombrero Beach is beautiful white sand with a few coral reefs. The beach ends at Sister Creek which is the back door exit to Marathon Harbor (shoal draft boats only). The Voice of America has the strongest AM radio transmission towers (transmitting to Cuba) from a small island in Sister Creek. Boaters are warned not to anchor in front of the towers. Radio Marti (Voice of America) broadcasts a 24-hour radio program over a medium-wave transmitter in Marathon, Florida (GC: 24°41′58″N 81°5′19″W). Its studios are located in Miami, Florida.
