We left Venice (finally) around 6:55 a.m. on Sunday. We arrived at Ft. Myers Beach around 1:30.
We fueled and tied up to our dock. The marina has a very nice boater’s
lounge and laundry facility. I
immediately started doing laundry while we waited for Barb and Ross (Attitude
Changer) to arrive. We’ll be hanging out
with Barb and Ross until the end of February.
Ft. Myers Beach is a typical
tourist town with lots of restaurants and souvenir shops. The town has a trolley
that runs the length of the island. We
bought a three day pass and made a scenic trip around the town. We’ve done a lot of walking around the town
and made a few trips to Publix. We docked
behind Tom and Linda (Q’s End). Turns
out they recognized the boat because they had traveled with Mark and Susan in
2010! We ran into Linda and Larry
(again) (Lila Blue). We also met Rob (Onward) and we found out he had just
crossed his wake. We pulled out a bottle
of champagne and had a little celebration with Barb, Ross, Larry and
Linda. It was fun to be able to
celebrate with him and he really appreciated it. Average
Looper and Navigator dropped by later Wednesday night for docktails.
We had met them at the rendezvous and Barb and Ross had traveled with
them.
