Curry Hammock SP

 



Saturday February 17, 2024 - The weather was absolutely beautiful today and we felt lazy and just hung around the campsite most of the day except for a few walks and a bike ride to Sandspur beach.  Our neighbors, Marie & Jeff floated by and we joined them.  It was fun chatting with them and we found out they are headed to Curry Hammock tomorrow (where we're headed on Monday).  We're looking forward to running into them there.




quite an interesting cloud...so flat on the bottom





Kevin spent a lot of the day in the water




we sat with our chairs in the water

I finally got a pic of this dead tree I always see on our bike ride to Sandspur beach

Sunday February 18, 2024 - Another quiet day around Bahia Honda.

the rain finally came...and it rained hard off and on all night

Monday February 19, 2024 - Today we're headed to Curry Hammock.  Sadly our last 2 weeks in the Keys.  It's only a 30 minute drive from Bahia Honda and we pass right by the pickleball courts so we of course stopped to play.  Our new campsite has a view of the water.  We'll have sunrises for the next 2 weeks.  




It was a stormy looking morning.  The water coming under the bridge was churning like a washing machine!




We drove out to Sandspur beach for the last time and had lunch there before heading to Curry Hammock




The dead tree looked pretty against the cloudy sky, so I of course had to take more pics









Our new campsite at Curry Hammock




Site 17-not a perfect view of the water, but we'll take it!




a walk on the Curry Hammock beach



Tuesday February 20, 2024 - Another day of pickleball, lounging in the hammock and a bike ride to Sunset Park (pre-sunset).  We tagged along with Marie and Jeff who were riding their bikes to Island Fish Co for dinner and beers. 




we're loving the sunrises









Kev getting an unobstructed view from the top of the picnic table







the pickleball courts at Marathon Community Park are always hopping 




perfect day for the hammock






Sunset Park in Key Colony






We found that Sunset Park still has concerts on Sunday from 4-6:00, so we'll be sure to be back for that.





Kev's grilling tonight





chicken thighs and sweet baby ray's




Yum




love the sky colors at sunset even though we don't technically have a sunset at our site

ready for a morning walk?










evening walk








almost a full moon




Friday February 23, 2024 - Today we decided to ride our bikes to Winn Dixie to pick up a few things (14 miles round trip!)  


gorgeous sunrise this morning










Wow!







walk along the beach







we stopped for a hot fudge sundae at McDonald's on our way to Winn Dixie




We loaded up the bikes.  It was BOGO beer, so of course we needed to buy 2-12 packs and we needed charcoal.  We love the ROKstraps that make these crazy purchases possible!






It was windy enough today for the kite surfers.  I love seeing them out our window



can you see the full moon on the horizon?
