Shortcake, I will be in Pensacola only one night on the way to Baton Rouge after the first of the year. We did see Sand Island from the forts year before last and it is probably too short a time frame (we are driving in, spending the night and leaving early the next morning) to actually be worth trying to arrange a boat. We are on our way from Panama City to Frisco TX to visit grandchildren, and I wanted to see if I could find the apartment that we lived in when we were first married in 1959. I found the address in my mom's effects after she died last year. But thank you anyway - I appreciate it.

I did not see the lighthouse on the north end, but we will be in Cozumel again in a couple of days and I hope to be able to see something then. I'm glad to see the picture of the old lighthouse in town as it is now. I'll try to get a picture for myself when we are there next week.
