Boating

We went out on the boat today, a 15 minute scenic cruise through the intracoastal past Deerfield Island Park (park you can only get to by boat), past gorgeous mansions and condos, to Lake Boca, where we anchored and did fishing and crabbing.

Below is Skyler during the brief time he was still awake, Manny cutting bait (squid), Shayna, and Grandpa fishing:


Manny, Shayna and Grandpa all caught fish! Here is Grandpa with the mutton snapper he had just caught:

The only mishap was when Shayna accidentally dropped her rod into the water, and then Grandma caught it about 2 hours later with the crab trap (she got the fishing line, which manny then was able to pull and get the rod out). we did not catch any crabs with the trap today, but did catch some fish in the trap.
We also saw the following birds/wildlife: Osprey, pelicans, cormorant, black vultures, and Iguanas. An Osprey is very similar to an Eagle.
