Sunday - February 3

Fun weekend starting with Saturday morning exercise routine and then bike ride scouting out RV parks for next winter.Then we got in truck and checked some more out a bit further away, stop at Publix and on back to boat.    Friends (Paul, Kathy, Barb, Roger, Carol and Roger) came onboard for drinks, snacks and then we all walked to Parrot Key for delicious Caribbean dinner followed by 3 hours of entertainment by Frank Turino!!!   Great to be together and visit, sing along with Frank and dance!
 
Went to First Watch for breakfast (my cranberry nut pancake was so yummy) and then to 10:30 Mass at Resurrection of Our Lord.    Back to Catrina for a nap, reading and computer stuff.
 
We did Face Time with Liam and family this afternoon and watched him open his birthday gifts - tomorrow is the big day - EIGHT years old!    My oh my....growing up much too fast!

This Salty Sam Marina is such a bustling place - while they've always had pontoon and fishing boat rentals and the big "Pieces of Eight" pirate ship for cruising, they've added so much more with catamarans and other sightseeing/sunset cruises, a large houseboat for excursions, the Indian Princess and a fun, funky little yellow boat to rent!   The Fort Myers Beach tourists sure do take advantage of all these fun modes of transportation on the water.
 
Went for a nippy bike ride and met Joe and Bonnie on their bikes from Michigan along the way.    They are in the Ebb Tide RV Park across from Salty Sam's and so good to see them.   Mark first met them a few years ago in Charleston, SC (I was shopping).  Unfortunately, while we were standing along the road visiting, a bicyclist was hit and injured with rescue vehicles coming to help.   Boy, that sent shivers and deja'vu from almost 3 years ago.    We've heard there have been several pedestrians hit here in FMB this winter.....everyone in too much of a hurry and not paying attention - very scary!
 
Made a plan to meet Tuesday night with Bonnie and Joe for dinner and enjoy Gatlin!
 
We ordered a pizza from Big Game and brought to Catrina to watch the "big game"!
