This Father's Day I decided to give my hard working hubby the almost ultimate gift. We RENTED - not BOUGHT a boat. It was absolutely gorgeous out in the Bay. We wanted to test the waters (so to speak) before plunging into the big purchase. It was all well until Mason upchucked all over Bobby's truck on the way home. Sea sick? I eagerly ask! I guess we can't buy a boat. Truthfully, he was sick the next day - Guess it was a virus.
We headed out really early to rent the boat at the marina. They were extremely nice - if you ever need a recommendation. The only problem all day was that our boat couldn't go over 10 miles an hour. We were left in the dust or waves by two chicks - now that's bad! The good news here is that we only used 3 gallons of gas. At today's prices that is definitely a plus.
We slowly sailed over to Eggmont Key. We cruised around a little while to figure out how others were getting to shore. We finally anchored in about 5 feet of water and swam in. That seemed to be what most people were doing. Bobby eagerly jumped in wallet, keys and all. I looked down at him in the water and saw his wallet floating out to sea. I think this happens yearly!!
The highlight of the trip was our dolphin encounter. It's unbelievable how close they get to the boat. Bobby tried to feed them Fig Newtons but I guess they prefer fish.
A great time was had by all!! We can't wait for our next boat outing.
