I am used to the ground level of Rowan Manor being packed with people. But, there was no open house this Thanksgiving. Only 1 of the 7 Haskell-Rowan children were in town, and the 1 had Thanksgiving at her house. Bill and Monica have been renting the place out. But it was open over the holiday. So, I had the run of the place.
Went to Fort Zach, to snorkel before the water got cloudy. Too bad a too big for the channel, cruise ship came in.
I snorkeled
In the kayak at Cudjoe Key, Blimp Road
Spot on the camera, not a full moon.
Landed at 12:21
Got on my bike
Blimp Road is about 1.5 miles
Overseas Heritage Trail
The Cudjoe Key section of the Trail is off U.S. one with a nice buffer.
I did not cross the highway, but turned around.
Back on Blimp Road
Back at my sister and brother in law's house.
With guacamole from avocados on the property, and a Stella! Tennessee Willimas, lived, and wrote, less than a mile away
Back on the water. Fogarty St. pond
Salt Run
Into, Garrison Bight
Landed at 5:13.
To Mangia Mangia for dinner with nephew Arlo and family
3 generations of the family, outside Mangia Mangia. A long day for Ashley and Zadie. Were up at 4 AM to get to the Asheville, NC, airport. Arlo and Aviva were on another bike. Bill left early, for a poker game.
Monica and I went to see Christmas lights
And a band at the historic Schooner Wharf. Historic, because back in June,2000, when in town for my niece's high school graduation, I finished first in my age group in the Schooner Wharf 8K. A road race, not a kayak race. I successfully defended my title in 2001. And 2002. In 2003, approaching the end of the 40-44 age group, I finished 2nd. I was a dynasty.
Gulf cart is bigger than Monica's Mini Cooper.
