Our crew departed early from the state park on a shuttle to Ft Lauderdale airport. So, Christine and I got going to make way before some forcasted bad weather set in. A manatee came by the boat to bid us farewell from the state park (first pic). We journeyed up the Atlantic coast a ways and then crossed back to the Gulf to visit Boca Chita Key, a national park only accessible by boat. It has a circular basin where the boats tie up (first pic). There are several trails that we hiked to stretch our legs (next pic). It was Thursday, and BlueSkies was only one of 4 boats in the basin that day (final pic). On weekends, the entire basin is filled with boats rafted 2 and 3 boats deep! Not shown are 2 manatees that roamed the basin. The reflection off the water did not let us get a good photo. We missed Becky who wanted to see manatees, because today she left and we had 2 really excellent manatee sightings.
