Today we left Fort Myers Beach, but took with us so many fond memories (and calories) of happy times with friends/family visiting, shopping, eating and just hanging out together!!!! And despite the COOL temperatures, February was just great FUN!
Leaving Salty Sam Marina this morning.
We traveled 5 hours up the intracoastal and our friends, Harry and Sharon in Placida came out and waved as we passed by............

And then, once in Venice, we passed by former dockmates from Racine who now winter in Venice. They were outside their home taking our picture and I took one of them and also bikers from Quebec who just happened to be riding by.

Bob and Carol were waiting for us at Crow's Nest to help tie up (always appreciated). We visited with them and then off to Pelican Alley for delicious lunch.

Later, we washed the salt off Catrina and then walked to Epiphany Cathedral downtown (about 1.5 miles) The sunshine felt good, but the walk back after 5:30 Mass was a little nippy! Ahhh, but the exercise felt good!
Mark and I enjoyed some good phone chats today with my Dad, his parents, my Aunt Dorothy for her 88th birthday, our neighbor, Marty, my friend, Brenda who is dealing with some serious knee issues and son, Michael out in NC where it's chilly, too!
Can't belive February is almost gone.....tomorrow off to Longboat Key.
