Plantation Marina has been a nice place to stay for a few nights. The facilities are great with the local park close by. The first day here we had quite a few showers with bright sunshine afterward and rainbows. Shopping is not too close, so we had to take a cab to get groceries and exchange a propane tank. We plan to leave again tomorrow. We've made progress toward Key Largo much faster than we anticipated, so we probably won't go too far tomorrow. We may check out Community Harbor where we stayed at Mangrove Marina on the way down. We'll check out the anchorage and if it doesn't look too crowded, maybe we'll stay there. If it is crowded, we may head for the anchorage off of the Upper Keys Sailing Club. The club lets people use their dingy dock and we know that local stores are accessible there since it's close to where we stayed when we first came to the keys.
Craig and Micki Giese are planning on meeting us on the 16th. We hope to stay at one of the marina's in the Jewfish Creek area in order to get them on board and also have a place for them to keep their car. We'll sail for a few days and then return to the same place. That will get us closer to the end of the month. We'll be contacting Manatee boat yard in the next few days to line up arrangements to prepare the boat for haul out.
