A week in Marathon

We have spent a week on a mooring ball in Marathon Florida.  They have a mooring field for 226 (or so) boats, about 90% full and a nice set up for cruising boats, with club house(wifi), showers, laundry, and pump out at the mooring ball.  We have been hanging around with My sister and her husband Ann and John, on their Gemini catamaran sailboat.  Ann and John have rented a car and we have gone on a driving excursion to Key West. 
This is a view of part of the mooring field from out boat.
We took Ann and John on a short ride in our boat along side Vaca Key.
We went to the turtle hospital that helps recover hurt turtles and had a tour and up close to several types of turtles.
Lots of places in Florida have canals that let lots of people have waterfront property, but no street ends like in Washington to allow public access.  This is from the back of a strip mall looking down a canal, our boat is in the far background.
