My wife and I took the skiff out the other day and even though it got us out to our swimming hole in Newfound Harbor there was barely enough power to get the boat up on a plane. I rather think the new cables are too long and don't allow the carburettors to open fully to take advantage of the twenty five whole horsepower of our finicky Yamaha outboard. we shall see. 
Meanwhile the salt waters around here are warming up enough that even a local will find them warm enough to swim in. So it is with a spot of frustration I find myself wandering the mangroves on hot sunny afternoon.
Cheyenne enjoyed herself as always, most particularly because this little trail at the top of Niles Road on Summerland Key is short and sweet and apparently full of good things to smell.
I looked out across the waters wondering if I might soon dare to ride the high seas. I am getting antsy about going swimming.
Cheyenne likes low tide at the old bridge. While I'm looking longingly out at the water wondering where my formerly-20-mile-per-hour skiff is...
...she sits in the shade under the bridge and thinks dog thoughts.

Dear Sir:
So is there an island cut off by the collapsed bridge or was this a route of convenience now abandoned? This dog is too good for you. I can't believe it's already 95º down there already. It hit 82º here last week, and we switched on the air conditioning.

While jack is turning on the AC we actually fired up the furnace last night when it was supposed to get down to 38 degrees.
How can you possibly stand all that heat and humidity is beyond me! But a boat ride does sound fun.

Heat and humidity is good for your skin. Nobody looks like a raisin down heah.
The old summerland birdge is a bit of a bridge to nowehere at the end of Niles Road on Summerland key. they took the ends off but it is posisble to climb up and walk to the deserted island at the north end.
I like humidity much better than dry heat which makes fingernails brittle and hair look like straw and lips chap.
Absolutely. It was about 88 and bone dry today here in San Diego. My skin itchy and my allergies are killing me. Santa Ana winds are in full force.
