Jana and I take another trip over to the Fort Zachary Taylor trail and do a few laps. We then swim at the beach and head back to the RV to gather up the rest of the crew to head to Higgs Beach with the puppies before school.
Ellie’s not feeling great so she decides not to come and Jack, Jana and I take the dogs for a wander on the beach and boardwalk. It’s pretty busy everywhere in the Keys at present it seems. Lots of people and lots of dogs.
We grab a Cuban sandwich and Cafe con leche at Sandy’s Cuban Cafe again and head back to the RV to do some work and for Jack to log into school. Ellie’s feeling a bit better and we decide we’ll go to the beach with her this afternoon while Jack’s in tutoring.
Jana’s still pounding away at the website/blog while I’m busy reformatting the blog posts.
We break away a little after 4:30pm when Ellie’s finished school and the dogs have taken a break. Higgs Beach remains busy and there are a lot of people out to watch the sunset. The skies are a beautiful pink and the clouds are surreal. We wander the beach and jetty to get a some beautiful photos and then head back to the RV.
I picked up some Mahi Mahi from Fishbusterz, and some shrimp. I grilled the fish but didn’t do a great job of it which is a bummer.
The original goal was fish tacos but we lacked a lot of the ingredients needed. Having a small fridge and pantry can limit spontaneous meal preparations.
Jana and I settle into watch “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction” with David Letterman and then call it a night.
The skies are a beautiful pink and the clouds are surreal.

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Month 2 FP
Here is what our second month living on our boat, Hanavave, in Tahiti, French Polynesia, was like.
Our trip to Australia was delayed due to port closures throughout the South Pacific. We spent the month making improvements to Hanavave so that we could make the passage to Australia with fewer stops.
