A sunshiny and breezy day and we are settled in slip B-35 at Salty Sam's Marina on Fort Myers Beach thru February. Good trip this morning from our mooring in Naples (2.5 hours and 34 miles) Found out yesterday that on Monday night we were anchored out just a 1/4 mile from friends, Glen and Paula on their boat near Marco Island. This morning we were out on the gulf together heading to FMB. Looking forward to some fun times together these next few weeks.
We had planned to give Catrina a good scrubbing when we arrived; however, we soon found out that a pipe had broken and our dock has no water! So.....we went to Big Game and had lunch (great spot to eat along with Parrot Key next door). It's Pennsylvania Day at Big Game, so....lots of folks having fun AND our favorite, Frank Turino is entertaining on a floating stage just 30' from Catrina. We've enjoyed him so much when we're here and today he did an awesome job with his oldies and just a great entertainer! He even sang a special Elvis song to Mark and Pat!!!
Pat and Frank
The past 2 days Mark has come across 2 guys he knew from work......one in Naples and then today here at Big Game. Cheryl came to my craft show for many years! Small world!
Finally around 4:30 the water came back, but still leaky (some boat hit the water line busting the fittings) Got Catrina scrubbed and good rinsing of all that salt.
Lots of people still at Big Game - either from PA or all around the country out having fun on a pretty Wednesday evening. Also music coming from the Indian Princess (old time paddle boat for daytime sightseeing or sunset cruises on Wednesdays and Sundays - tonight is "Ladies Black Dress Night"). And also have a big game of sand volleyball going on with the young adults!! Things are happening here at Salty Sam's!
May get some rain after midnight and then cooler for next several days.
