Day 136: Faro Blanco Resort and Marina (Marathon, FL) 3/15/22

It’s tee time!

This morning we went golfing at The Florida Keys Country Club. Jen is not very good at golfing and mostly just drove the cart today. Mike, Kelly, and Michael has some really great drives and putts. It was a nice course, and if you’re ever in Marathon and want to play golf its a good one to play at.

After golf, we went back the boat and Jen made wraps again for lunch.

Mike and Michael spent the day working on boat projects. They finished pulling the wires for our Victron house bank battery monitor. Before leaving for the loop, Mike did lots of research on house bank battery options. We used to have 2 8D Master Volt batteries, delivering 470amp hours. They took up a lot of space in the engine room and after through research we decided to upgrade to 4 Victron telecom batteries delivering 800amp hours. They take up the same amount of space as our old 8D batteries, and provide us with more apt hours. Which for all our non boating friends, this means we spend a lot more time anchored out without having to run our generator.

We wen to docktails at 5, and everyone really enjoyed meeting Michael.

Michael did a little fishing off the back of the boat in the marina and he caught a few yellow tail snapper.
