Defeated by Mosquitoes on Elliot Key - Thurs. Feb. 24th

After doing some laundry by hand and hanging it in the plentiful sunshine to dry, we packed a picnic lunch with the intent on walking across Elliot Key to the ocean side.  We put on bug spray but by the time we were in the middle of the island (about 5 minutes walking), we got attacked by mosquitos so decided to abort plans and return to the sunny beach. We hung out at the beach, enjoyed a picnic lunch, swam and then returned to Juno. We had read that there is fresh water at the park ranger's HQ about a mile south so we decided to reposition Juno before dusk so as to be closer to the park HQs for an excursion ashore tomorrow for fresh water.
