The trail was pretty busy for a Monday, but I was able to avoid any people in my photos.

Back to SIBC

 

 

 The gang went for a boat ride.

 

 Manatee!

We were headed to Pine Island.  Our captain said the channel is a good place for dolphins.  I knew that. http://davesyaktales.blogspot.com/2011/01/pine-island-day-2.html

 The Yak Tales dolphins were on the west side of Pine Island.  Today we motored on the east side.

 

 

 

 

I got one good video.  Karen B. got several

 

 

The day ended with games and an appetizer spread at Chris A's condo.  I had a slice of Indian Head Country.  Door County was gone.
