May 5th - what a day for sailing! Check out s/v Cantagree as she glides through Blackwater Sound on the way to Alabama Jack's (A.J.). A.J.'s is a funky little place that is situated near Card Sound Bridge and is frequented by Jimmy Buffett and others - like the crews of Eagle's Wings and Cantagree. We chowed down on their award winning conch fritters and conch salad (see pictures below). A.J.'s prides itself on being the kind of a place that attracts people "who have left the mainstream behind." Of course, we felt comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.
After lunch we continued our journey to Pumpkin Key, which is located just south of Angelfish Creek. We were interested in exploring the Angelfish Creek area since it serves as a passageway from the Intercoastal Waterway (which we are traveling) and the Atlantic (which we had hoped to travel to the Bahamas). We jumped on our dinghies for a look-see and were treated to a beautiful passageway with gorgeous mangroves framed with jewel-green water.
We decided to "drop anchor" at Pumpkin Key and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset. Tomorrow onto Biscayne Bay!
