Today we walked 2 1/2 miles to visit Crane's Point. It used to be a private estate and is now a nature center. It is one of the few areas where native trees have been preserved. One of the interesting displays on the property was a small boat used to bring 8 or 9 refugees from Cuba. The boat landed in the Keys north of here. The sails appeared to be made of nylon bags used to hold 50 kg (110 lb) of rice. The sails were shredded. I can only imagine what the refugees went through to get here. We walked the 1 1/2 miles of trails on the property then 2 1/2 miles home. I think we are making up for time in the boat without walking much.
