Crystal River Scenes
We've really enjoyed the amaryllis plants that were Christmas presents from Aunt Virginia. We couldn't leave them at home, so we've watched them grow and bloom.
To the right is Second Wind tied up to the gas dock at Pete's Pier.
Birds were everywhere, hoping to get some discards from fishermen on the pier.
A whole flock of pelicans gathered where a fisherman was cleaning his catch. They were funny and reminded us of the seagulls from Finding Nemo. "Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine . . ."
This egret almost became our pet. He made himself right at home. Pete's Pier wasn't luxurious, but it was fine for a few nights. Because we refueled there, they gave us three nights free.
Sunset at Crystal Springs was as beautiful as all the Florida sunsets we've seen so far.
