The new replacement refrigerator showed up on Tue morning rather than Monday. Two techs from Felix Marine and Tom spent five hours working on removing the old one and installing the new. They also changed two antennas that had gone bad and they are coming back to replace the Raymarine VHF radio on the bridge. Fortunately we had planned a longer stay in Ft Myers, so the repair time worked out well. Hopefully that will take care of repairs for awhile. Felix Marine was prompt, on time, professionally executed and a fair price. If you need electronic or refrigeration service work, these are your guys. The new refrigerator (with an interior light) is up and running. Now to the grocery store for provisioning

Tuesday our son Gary and his family, along with our niece Kris and her family drove down from Siesta Key to spend the day with us. We had a very enjoyable time having lunch at Mantanza Inn and then walking the pier where we watched two dolphins chase a school of fish. Some of us checked out the shops and after exerting all that energy we found our favorite ice cream store. While seated at the ice cream patio tables we recognized the great photo opportunity of the beach sunset just a few steps away.

Also today, our good friends Luke & Jane (our immediate next door neighbors at home) stopped by for a short visit. We will reconnect with them later this week. Additionally, yesterday we had the pleasure of Mike & Corey Montgomery stopping by in their Boston Whaler for a nice afternoon visit. Thanks Mike & Corey.

When we returned to the boat my grandsons Keegan and Connor challenged me to a game of Rummy Cube and I’m sorry to say Connor got lucky and beat us. Today was a very fun day; we truly enjoyed the opportunity to visit with family and friends. The weather just seems to remain nice, no complaints.
