Plantation Key to Shell Key, Florida

 After five  nights at Plantation Yacht Harbour Marina, we let loose of the dock lines and headed south to Shell Key. This is a protected mangrove island with five mooring balls in the anchorage maintained by Florida State Park. The water is a beautiful turquoise and we are the only boat here in paradise.

A pair of manatees frolicking in the water dripping off our hose

Two manatees right off our stern between dinghy and dock

Orillia to Mile 216.6 Deep Bay, Ontario, Canada

 We let the marina at 7 am and it was a little breezier than predicted. We cruised down Lake Couchiching then entered the slow speed section...
