FT. MEYERS AND CAPE CORAL FL.











today is a cold winter day, with the wind blowing from the north at 15-20. when will it all go away we ask? As for all our friends,& family up north we are thinking of you. since we arrived in Florida we have had many visits with friends and relatives despite the cold. most of our time we are in Cape Coral, & Bradenton. As of today we are in Cape Coral till Feb. 12th, then start moving north we will stop in Bradenton again to say our good-byes for the season. Aboard with us will be our friends from Mi. They will cruise up the gulf coast with us to gulf shores. We plan on leaving the boat there for the mth. of March while we are in Mi.. New grandbaby again this is #6 & a BOY!!!.

I had a fun time with my girlfriends in Ft. Meyers beach we stayed at a motel for a few nites. It was good to spend time together. I called it the BITCH PARTY!! as you can see in the pics. Another gathering with friends from G.T.B. we did a cruise to pick up boat supplies from boat U.S. that was a first. On our way we seen lots of dolphins, with a mimosa brunch to spice the day up. The best part of being here is the port we are in. Judy & Joe have been the best harbor masters you can ask for. We have elec.,water, laundry,pool,hot tub & car. You can't get any better than this.
We been patiently waiting for warmer weather to come back around, which the weather man said by Sat. so we will see. If so it will be in the 80s & that means pool time. We have spent some of days and nights playing games, ( C.L.R.) and I of course have taken everyones money..Went to Ft. Meyers yatch basin seen some long time friends there and we also had others that drove down from Brunswick GA.. Its been really great to see some of our old cruisers and spend time with them.
Hope the weather is on its way to brighter,& warmer days for all of you up north. When we start up the ten-tom I worrie about the floodings, remembering what it was like the last time we came up. We have a birthday party to go to tonight so I will post the good stuff and for now be safe and stay warm..
