We find ourselves sitting in Key Largo. This is our last destination in the Keys for a little while. More information on that to come later. We arrived on Friday and are very excited to see our new site for this week. 
We are sitting right on the water with a nice gazebo overlooking our boat slip.
All we need now is a boat. There is also little beach about 20 yards from our doorstep.
We are also about a mile from John Pennekamp State Park, which is home to the coral reef. We went on a snorkel trip on Saturday to a reef that is about 3 miles off shore. It's amazing that you are that far out and the water is only about 5 feet deep. We saw tons of colorful fish and coral. The only thing that sucks is that you get on this boat with 38 other people. You would think that being in the ocean you wouldn't be bumping into people but we found ourselves having to stop because there were so many people around us. We would swim off in a direction to get away and within a few minutes they would be right there bumping into you. Even with all the bumping we enjoyed ourselves and were able to see a Black Tip Reef shark. He was about 5 feet long. It took my breath away when I first spotted him. When we got back on the boat I asked the Captain about it and he said that he lives out on that reef along with a couple of Nurse Sharks. Good to know. Sunday, we spent the entire day out on our kayaks. We explored the mangrove trees and the little islands that dot the area. Saw some stingrays and another shark. In the evening we settled in to watch the Super bowl. We decided to stay and watch here in RH. It was a nice evening and we had the grill going along with some cold drinks. What a great game. It was nice to see the Headlines for the New York Post and Boston Globe.
Monday we spent the day looking for a storage place we could leave Road Hazard for our next destination. You see, this Saturday we are flying out on a little puddle jumper from Fort Lauderdale airport headed to Marsh Harbor, Bahamas. There we are going to meet up with Deb and Charlie. We will board their sailboat named "Magic" and travel around the different islands that make up the Bahamas.

My friend Peter ran in his first race. He claims that he ran the whole 3 miles and didn't walk.
Looking at this picture you really can't tell. I mean you have to look pretty hard past the little kid and the 4 women in front of him. Good job Peter. It’s only a RACE!
