The date for our number of days out get off when we write the blog for one day but don’t post it until the next day. This is day 123 and things couldn’t be better.
Before Tom returned the rental car Monday morning, he went out of his way to find a store to buy me a new puzzle. It doesn’t take much to make me happy and this boaters lounge is so perfect with several large tables to assemble puzzles. All the boaters staying here at this marina stop in the lounge to assist on my puzzle since it is exceptionally difficult. I did put in the last piece this morning.
Yesterday morning our friends Cindy and Alex Shue off “Tug Hill Tug” came by dingy for coffee. Their boat is on a mooring ball here at Mantanza Pass and we have not seen them for a couple of months. Even though we read each other’s blogs, it was nice to have a face to face conversation to hear of their adventures and to share ours. Our friends Steve & Liz from “Shingebiss” who are also moored at Mantanza’s came by dingy to have lunch with us at Matanza's Inn. We had not seen them for some time either, so catching up on stories created lots of laughs. The Matanzas Inn manages the mooring ball reservations and extends the inn’s amenities to the boaters.
As you’ve heard on the news, 7 out of 11 nights have been below 30. Not good for all the Florida crops and tourism. On the brighter side for us, it is supposed to warm up by the end of the week and we have many more days to come.
Today we rode bikes for breakfast to "Gulf Grill", a great restaurant overlooking the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. It is still too cold to eat outside but, inside we had a window seat with a great view. After breakfast Tom and two other transient boaters went to Marine Salvage store in North Fort Myers. Tom came back with a couple of items for the dinghy.
Additionally today, we had the pleasure of Vic, Kathy and their daughter Emma Quinn stopping by Moss Marine for the afternoon. After conversation on “Noah Genda” we ventured across the bridge to dine at the “Parrot Key Restaurant”. We had a great time breaking bread and sharing wine, conversation and lots of laughs with Vic, Kathy and Emma. It was a beautiful night; the food was good and excellent service. We were not disappointed. We cannot thank the Quinn’s enough for taking the time out of their vacation schedule to make tonight such and enjoyable day/evening.
