Our Next Adventure : Into the Backcountry

It was dark when we left Lil' G early this morning. The star scape of mast lights stretched toward the marina and beyond. And even though I was awake at 3:30am, I couldn't help but smile. It's such a beautiful sight, and besides, we were on our way to Miami to pick up Jon. 

The drive to and from the airport was the fastest and least congested we've experienced so far and the sun rise over the water on our return was well worth being awake for it.

Once back in Marathon we made one last stop for a bag of ice, headed to the boat and, even though it wasn't going to keep us from leaving the harbor, double checked the weather report. The prediction is calling for a four day weather window with warmer temps and calmer wind. It's the perfect Gulf side, back country opportunity we've been waiting for. So here we go...Cheers!
