Condos, a lighthouse some injured turtles and a boat

We had a look at some of the bargains in the housing market here in Florida. The realtor tried hard with a 50% discount but the "marina" turned out to be some semi derelict boats


and the possibility of some mooring balls. The condos were pretty inside with marble floors but the neighborhood is not good.





Still someone paid 3/4 mill not so long ago for it.













We drove down to Jupiter and had a look at the lighthouse.





















Nowadays it still lights the way home for the rare boater without GPS












But it mostly signposts the most costly real estate in Florida, Celine Dion lives here and Tiger Woods is building.








The Turtle hospital seems well resourced and full of volunteers some cleaning tanks and others scrubbing algae off hatchlings using toothbrushes.

However all the adults seemed to do is try to climb over the tank lip and escape to the sea.















The turtle place also had these strange fish called look downs in quite small tanks, we wondered why?






We have a boat under offer at last. An elegant old lady that someone poured lots of time effort and money into.





If she surveys well she will be our home in the future,
