Scheduled for the only type of covid test (rapid PCR) administered by the city at 9:00 am, we walked to the town green, got tested, then headed to Flour and Weirdos for coffee and baked treats before a stop in the B.Care hair salon for haircuts at 10:30 for both of us (long hair interferes with snorkeling). Right next door, was a Winn Dixie market for our final chance to stock our fridge/freezer. Harry completed the Bahamas travel visa and health visa with our negative covid results for the both of us (finally!!) while I shopped and then we called FreeBee for a lift back to the dinghy. Who should appear but José - for the third time. Our trip took longer than expected as as traffic was backed up for 1/4 mile getting in to the Bill Braggs State Park giving us a chance to hear more about José and his life. With temperatures in the low 80's we put the groceries away as soon as possible and then as the winds were very light out of the NE, we motored NE about 5 miles to Key Biscayne Marina to top of the diesel and water tanks as No Name has no services for cruisers. As we rounded the point leaving No Name, we came upon 60 small motor boats anchored on a sand bar with many people standing in the water keeping hydrated on a hot day. After gassing up, we sailed slowly back past No Name to the lighthouse at the tip of Key Biscayne and finally returned to No Name for the night. Enjoyed a fresh piece of grouper on the grill and made Juno ready (putting the dinghy on Juno's deck) for a very early departure tomorrow morning to the Bahamas. Forecast is for winds to be about 10 knots from the SE.
