Chicago Sister’s 2nd Adventure

Chicago Sister’s 2nd Adventure

Wow! What a trip it was with the Chicago sisters. The morning sunrise on the water was magnificent. We sat on the boat with the engine off, watched the sunrise and listened to the Osprey catch fish. Next we traveled in the Gulf to an isolated beach. We came upon a large group of dolphin and got to see one free jumping out of the water. The beach was full of solitude and little treasures from the sea. A flock of great egrets flew over headed south. If all of this was not enough there was a large seahorse attached to my anchor line as I pulled the anchor. We observed this interesting sea creature and put it back in the water. It was a great trip filled with many surprises that nature cast our way.
