Marlene with God knows who?

 

Mike and Polli invited us to join their friends Dwight and Dianne for some sailing on S/V Chinook.  It was a perfect blue sky day with winds around 15 knots and seas about 3 feet....(6 feet, according to Marlene).  Everyone got their turn at the helm and everyone had a great time.  We sailed south of Marathon past Sombrero reef, where we had snorkeled earlier.  We sailed past the typical 15 foot depths into the deeper water where the water was deep blue in color.  After returning, Dwight invited all of us to a fish fry where  he prepared Yellow Tail that he had caught earlier.  The fish was absolutely fantastic.  This was definitely our best day in Marathon so far.
