Finished packing up things we don't need for awhile and putting in car. We drove to Punta Gorda, had a few errands and then met Allie and Owen at Laishley Crab House for yummy lunch outdoors on this beautiful day.
Great lunch with great friends!
After lunch we walked along the water near the municipal marina and took a few pics

Said good bye to these dear friends and looking forward to 2 weeks when we'll see them in
Key West with the Blue Angels.
Back to Daisy to clean out and defrost the fridge and then a bike ride thru the park.
Met boating friends in downtown Fort Myers - we all originally had the same PDQ Power Catamarans - John and Beth have since sold theirs and live in Fort Myers; Doug and Charlotte spent the winter on their cat and have left Marathon (where we originally met). They are now stopping in FM for a few days on their way home to Annapolis.
Mark and I strolled around downtown - it was the 3rd Friday of the month and their usual river city music festival which made for a happening place on the streets, sidewalks, etc. with lots of people enjoying the restaurants, bars, music, etc. this gorgeous evening.
We all met around 7:15 and had drinks while we waited for a table, but then enjoyed "The Lodge" (a first for all) - great dinners and another good spot to add to the list of favorites!
Doug, Charlotte, John, Beth, Pat, Mark
The girls...

After dinner we all went to John and Beth's lovely condo and enjoyed some awesome drinks (Rum Chata) and more chatter.....we took Charlotte and Doug back to their boat and arrived back on Daisy at 12:20 AM this morning....whew.....haven't been out that late in a long time! What fun and hope to see these friends at air shows (Key West and Annapolis) in the weeks ahead!!!
