Exploring the creeks along Marathon’s islands in the dinghy,
as we did today, will be a fond memory of mine for a long time. The islands
here are very narrow, like most of the Florida Keys, so I didn’t expect there
to be many navigable waters all around us as we went back and forth from the
boat to the marina. Sisters Creek, for example, goes all the way from the harbor
to the ocean, where it provides access to a beach. A very small island within a
half-mile of the beach is accessible by dinghy as well. Needless to say, that’s
where we went. We circumnavigated, but
finding no place to come ashore we headed back. It was no more than a half hour
to get back to the boat.
Our buddy boater, Michael, headed for Key West today since the weather was fair. We
would have gone with him if we hadn’t paid for a week here already. We’re in no
rush apparently. If we headed for Key West Monday, we’d still have more than a
week to continue exploring and enjoying the keys.
