Sunshine Key RV Park

This campground that we have come to for so many years (30)is still one of the most relaxing places we have been and there are so many fond memories that we had with our kids and last year with Kathy and her family. We arrived and not too much has changed except for the minimal damage from the hurricanes this past year. We settled in and finally put together the boat we carry as shown below. We have been carrying this boat and motor around for 20 years now and its been wonderful down here . Easy to use and carry and sometimes we even catch some fish.Of course, now that we set up for fishing the next day the wind picked up (at 5:00 AM)and with a crash ripped the hooks out that control one of the awnings...needless to say we woke up and spent the next half hour trying to tie everything down (in winds up to 35 mph). Morning and the rest of the day brought continued high winds as you can see from the cloudy normally clear water and obvious whitecaps.Well, today was Saturday and fortunately today is flea market day at Big Pine Key and they have one booth there that deals in RV parts. Its always fun and today we went with purpose not only to get fresh produce but the parts to repair last nights damage. By noon we repaired the damage and are waiting out the weather.
