We're back in Fort Myers Beach at Bonita Bill's Harbor....where there's music every night and cheap eats and drinks. Barry has been here since Dec. 27th--working on the boat and making new friends (both specialities of his). I just arrived last Friday and have cleaned and scrubbed and organized things while having fun too. On Sunday, we took a sailboat cruise to Sanibel

Island with our dock neighbors from Newfoundland--Simone and Jerry. After anchoring out, we took the dinghy in to shore and walked the beach for a while--unfortunately the beach was littered with many dead fish from a recent'red tide'. yuk Yesterday, I had a wonderful time at a state park called Lover's Key (named for two pirates who honeymooned here in the late 1700s). I took a bike tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide and was lucky enough to see a large alligator, an eagle, osprey, tortoises, and numerous butterflies unknown in St. Louis. Fantastic day for a nature nerd like me!! Today is my birthday, so my great friend Sue Stock came down to visit from Tampa. We got all caught up on kids and husbands and grandbabies and enjoyed a lunch waterside. I've also enjoyed a walk on the beach at sunset with Barry and I'm looking forward to a light dinner later tonight at a highly recommended, casual seafood place nearby. Take a look at our pictures!
Sounds like you are having fun. The boat looks really nice with the green paint.
