The recent cold front passed and the winds and seas calmed. It was time to revisit our summer getaway, Marvin Key. It was a rather nice autumn day in the Keys, a southeast wind and temperatures in the low 80s. Our good friends from New Hampshire, Gary and Rosanne, followed us out in their boat to lay the track in their GPS. Zuzu and Tootie were crazy with excitement as we prepared the boat for our midday excursion...they knew a trip was imminent.
Once moored on the sandbar behind Marvin Key,
Zuzu and Tootie were off like rockets running on the sand.
See you later...off they went to far edge of the sandbar...
...and across the sandbar...
...one in pursuit of the other...
...back to the boat.
The cool water (72.5 degrees cold!) must have felt refreshing. It was a bit of a shock for me being accustomed to the warm summer water. Tootie nipped at Zuzu and ran.
Zuzu took the bait and chased after Tootie through the shallow water.
Play time at Marvin Key. It doesn't get any better than this!
It was time for a quick water break and rest on the boat. They really like their floating kennel that takes them to new and fun places.
Just another casual and relaxing day in the Keys. Hard to believe it's mid-November!
A contemplative moment for Zuzu as she looks across Turkey Basin.
Scanning for boats and birds, anything she can chase. Tootie, however, is laying down not far from Zuzu. She'd rather be the lazy dog and let Zuzu be the watchdog.
Nearing the end of our excursion, the girls were intrigued by something floating at water's edge.
Just before pushing off the sandbar and heading back to Sugarloaf Key, Tootie visited Rosanne in her boat to give her a thank you kiss for coming along.
It was a good day...when do we go again?
