Day 154: Faro Blanco Resort and Marina (Marathon, FL) 4/2/22

Today is our last day in Marathon. After 2 months in paradise, we are leaving tomorrow to get back to conquering the loop.

Jen spent a few hours enjoying the pool for one last time.

Because our plan is to leave early in the morning, we decided to get fuel today. Which was not an easy endeavor. Getting out of the slip was a little tricky as the current wanted to push us back into the slip, and because of the way it’s shaped and angled we couldn’t just give it gas and pull forward so we had to kinda wiggle on out. Once we made it over to the fuel dock there was a whole lot of current pushing us away from the dock we had to pull up next to. The dockhands were very helpful and basically had to man handle pull us in… it was in that moment we wished we had bow thrusters. After we got fuel, we pulled out no problem and we able to get back to our slip, which we had to wiggle back in to. High fives to the Wishes crew after all that.

Instead of 5 o’clock docktails we had dinner with all of our friends at Lazy Day’s in Marathon. Mel bought some fish from a local fisherman and Lazy Days cooked it for us. It was super yummy! We had an absolute blast at dinner. We love our friends at Faro Blanco and leaving them is going to be hard. They really have become family.

When we got back from dinner, we enjoyed the sunset and started getting ready to leave tomorrow.

We’re all feeling a little anxious and excited to leave. So hopefully we can all get some good sleep tonight as we’ve got a big day ahead of us tomorrow.
