Bahia Honda...







With more family expected in mid-March, Dave and I didn't want to stray too far from Marathon. We did, however, take a trip to Bahia Honda - 14 miles from Marathon (by sea). It was an enjoyable sail and would have been near perfect if the fishing lines Dave was trolling hooked any fish. Oh well, maybe next time.

Bahia Honda is a Florida State Park most noted for the old Bahia Honda Bridge which is in the Historic Register. The bridge was part of the original Henry Flagler railway which went down to the Keys but was largely destroyed by the 1935 hurricane.

Today, the park features a hike to the bridge, great views, swimming and snorkeling. We anchored in the park overnight and then sailed back to our home port of Marathon.
