Happy Birthday Tracy!

The MacKenzie family – Tracy, Kim, Lexie and Haley – traveled all the way from Nova Scotia to celebrate Tracy’s birthday in Marathon Florida Keys!

Tasty dinner despite tough conditions

Keith and Glenda Burres, from Corsicana TX, were troopers in some tough conditions. Retired from the Air Force, Keith and Glenda enjoyed the accommodations at the US Coast Guard station in Marathon.

Dolphin, tuna and yellowtail snapper for the Robertsons from Shawnee OK.
