Narrative and photographs

This station is set into a concrete pad near the marina at Founders Park in Islamorada—just about 150 feet south-southwest of 872 3776 TIDAL 1. It is in good condition and was very easy to locate using the description, even though the Bar B Q Pit restaurant is no longer here. There should be at least one more tidal disk in this area, and possibly a few more. Next time, we will be better prepared and will try to find them all!
