8 day trip, day 4

Slept in after a long 3 day trip to Panther Key. Difficult to believe it use to only take me 3 hours to get to Panther Key from my, seemingly long ago, dockage in Goodland... it was only just 7 months ago, the end of last sailing season.
While slowly awaking to chai tea and cooking scrambled eggs and toast with fruit for breakfast, I heard the sound of something skimming the water's surface outside...
It was Lynne and Russell in their sailing dinghy to say Good Morning and welcome to Panther Key!!
After breakfast I jumped into the kayak and went over to Panther Key to catch up with Lynne and Russell, which just happened to be the one and only hour I spent on land during the entire 8 day trip!
Caught a pic of anchored SVs Athena (closer) and Blue Highway (further) on my way back from Panther. Although Blue Highway looks smaller than Athena in this pic... Blue Highway is a good 14 feet longer than Athena!
Spent the rest of the day lounging, reading, watching the surroundings, resting, relaxing...
Later in the afternoon we moved Athena and rafted up to Blue Highway to watch the sunset and enjoy dinner and conversation with Lynne and Russell.
As night falls... so do the eyelids...
