Marc-  We started the day off walking over to Blackfin Marina on the North side of Marathon to help Michael and Doreen with the logistics of reconnecting with their truck after taking Fiddler's Green over to Shelter May Marina at the Eastern end of Marathon (about 1.2 hours away by boat).  We passed over the causeway bridge just as Fiddler's Green was approaching and we greeted them at the dock.  She will be getting a few repairs done while Michael and Doreen return to New Jersey with their truck.  We all enjoyed a wonderful outdoor breakfast at the Stuffed Pig restaurant before they headed North.

I decided today would be a good day for me to start running again (I have not run in six months and gained a few pounds).  Surprisingly I made it around the golf course without getting winded.  I did an extra lap walking with Sue to cool down.

Our recent visitor, Ann Gilmartin Williams, met some interesting animals on her way back home from Marathon. These are her photos:
