Marathon, FL – 1/31/11 (day 3)
On Monday we needed to get a rental car and drive back to Ft. Myers to get the Hanna van. Bill went to the airport at 8 a.m. to pick up the car and my job was to make sure the ladies were ready when he got back. Long story short … both jobs were acco…
Sombrero Marina – 1/30/11 (day 2)
What beautiful weather!!! Mid 70’s with nothing but sunshine. Today we moved the boat from slip #3, a stern in dock, to the slip we reserved when I first called a month ago#51, a seawall side tie so Dianne could get off and on much easier. Besides t…

Venice & Ft. Myers – 1/23/11 – 1/24/11
Yesterday (Sunday) was the day that Christine, Greg and the girls left for their flight back to Pennsylvania. We sure enjoyed their visit even though the weather was a little chilly we are sure that it was much nicer than what they were going to see w…
Bradenton, FL – 1/21/11
When we woke up this morning the fog had settled in big time although the temperatures were still in the low 60’s. I walked to the end of the dock several times to see if visibility was getting any better. About 10 a.m. I talked to the captain of the…
St. Petersburg Municipal Marina – 1/19/11 (day 2)
We spent the morning today doing a few chores and projects around the boat before our guests arrive later this afternoon. My brother-in-law’s cousin, Mike and Marilyn called from Gulfport and unfortunately we couldn’t find a time to get together with t…
