At the suggestion of a SetSail visitor we took of yesterday afternoon to have a look at Whiskey Creek.
It is an almost pristine wilderness a few minutes dinghy ride from where WInd Horse is anchored. And if you get lucky, there are some wonderful critters to observe.
These include cruisers who would rather be off a bit from the crowds anchored nearby.
And osprey waiting for a tasty fish.
This chap had an Aries wind vane on the stern, always a sign of serious intent.
There is a risk reward ratio between time of day, lighting, and bugs. Catching a shot like this makes the risk of providing a small meal to a hungry mosquito bearable.
Speaking of biting, the fish are.
We will leave you with a few more images, and then back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the kind words, Sebastian:
To be honest, we failed yesterday in getting back to work. But were rewarded with some great osprey photos. However, today is a work day as we have some details to finish up on several projects (the cameras are stored with a do not touch sign).

Hi Steve and Linda
Just got back to the Azores and I want to thank you both so much for taking the time to show us around Wind Horse, a couple of weeks ago.
Your Florida pictures,needless to stay are beautiful and it looks like your grand children are having a ball.
Very best regards,
