Schooner, Kayaks and Snorkeling

We took a schooner trip to a small mangrove covered key for some kayaking and had a running commentary while we paddled to observe plant and animal life around the key.  The weather was perfect as the temperatures were in the mid-70s with very calm and clear water.  The most interesting sightings were of a small shark, sting ray and sea cucumber.  Portuguese man-of-war were floating in the water. We have seen many of these since we arrived in the Keys.

We stopped at Fishbusterz Seafood Market on Stock Island our way back to Foreign Affair and bought two pounds of stone crab claws and 2 pounds of shrimp for dinner,  Eric cooked a fine meal. Boiled red potatoes, corn on the cob, onions, shrimp and crab claws.  Emi picked out a half gallon of Breyer's vanilla/chocolate chip ice cream for desert.  A great way to celebrate a fun day.
