Christmas Eve finds us anchored in Pelican Bay just across from Useppa Island.

After lunch on Cabbage Key we checked on the boat and then dinghied over to the Cayo Costa State Park to walk across the island to the beach. Bart went swimming and we tried to take a nap on the beach but the flies wouldn’t leave us alone.

It was amazing how many boats were anchored out here for the night. We saw lots of Christmas lights. We had Bloody Mary’s and snacks, listened to Christmas music and played games.
