Bahia Honda State Park

-


 We left Marathon Key after one last pretty sunset. 


It was a pretty rough ride with 3 foot seas and high winds but we only had a 1 hour run to Bahia Honda. 


Around the reef you can see the waves breaking on and through the old bridge under the missing section into a sheltered harbour. 


The marina is small, cozy and friendly. Several loopers, new to us, requiring docktails to exchange stories. 


We came over on February 7th and will probably be here for 10 days…forecast is very windy. 


Exploring the park, a beach, trailer park, marina and trails.






2 manatees live inside the harbour. 





On Friday we took the bus to Key West for $1 each way. We have been here before so we just did some strolling, eating, drinking and window shopping.

The fins you can see in the last post are dolphins 🐬

I hate those 3ft choppy waves!
We are in Vero Beach Florida and just walking the beach each day! Great weather and nice to be in sunshine. Happy you both are still having the trip of your dreams!

  Richard and Thérèse’s boating adventure has come to an end and what an adventure it has been.

  Yup…New Adventures await us…..Loved every minute!!!  We have listed her with the broker who sold her to us, Gerry Zidner.  You can see her listing on boat dealers.ca.  We are back onboard  after our trip north. We had a nice trip back to Canada 🇨🇦…Lori and Dan’s baby shower had a great turn out…fun visit with my sister Louise and cousin Joanne….cloudy eclipse and celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary. Fellow Loopers taking our picture as they go by the marina while we were away.  Back on the move…..we left Wacca Wache marina in SC on April 13th….waiting for high winds to calm.  4 long days on the move and 4 nights at anchor leave us well positioned to cross the Albemarle Sound and weather conditions are perfect. Our first time going through Coinjock, a stop at their dock and diner at their restaurant. House specialty is Prime Rib that Richard enjoyed and I had the Ribeye….it was very nice. Last stretch going into the outskirts of Norfolk, Virgini...

Whitehall, NY

 We pushed off the wall close to 9am this morning, captain had a nice sleep in…..he needed it. The first lock of the day, up 10 feet. We are at maximum elevation of 140 feet for this canal system.  It’s all down hill from here. 👇 Three more locks today, all down. We had company today…a sail boat accompanied us from Fort Edwards to Whitehall. The canal is getting more and more narrow.  Mountains in the background as we approach Vermont. We got tied up in Whitehall, another free town dock including power and water….❤️❤️ Whitehall is the birthplace of US navy and it all started with this boat credited for winning the war of 1812 that was fought in this area. We went for a walk once the sunset, it was very hot today. Small downtown area by the waterfront park, the years have not been kind. View of Red Rover and the park from the bridge we will go under in the morning.
