The last few days we have been getting to know the area around here. Our mooring area isn’t the most picturesque but it has character. As the sun sets each evening the view across the harbour is quite a site. Over 200 masts all against a backdrop of the blazing sun accompanied by the sound of number of sailors blowing their conchs, saluting the setting sun. Then when it is dark it looks amazing with all the masts burning anchor lights. It appears as two different star-filled skies, one of anchor lights and one of real stars. Often there are events going on organized by other cruisers. A big pot luck dinner the other night with live music was pretty nice. Right beside the marina is a nice community park and we have spent some time there playing ball and Frisbee. Yesterday we sailed out onto the ocean again and anchored at Bahia Honda Key, just off the beach of the state park. Except for the highway in the background (see picture) it is a beautiful spot. We swam and snorkeled a bit there as well. These state parks are a good deal. When you anchor out and dinghy in there is no charge. Always on the search for free stuff…! We may be here for a little while still. There's something mesmerizing about swaying on a mooring ball...
