Last Week in Fort Meyers Beach

It’s been a busy week for a change.  The weather has been very windy until recently so we decided to get the kayak in the water for a bit.  When we got it dried out and tried to roll it up to store we discovered that the inflatable keel was full of water.  At least 6 different places where it attaches to the bottom were loose and leaking.  It took several days to get all the water out and try to seal up the leaks.  We will check it when we get to Key West.

We have dined out almost every evening this week.  We rode our bikes over to Tom and Carla’s beach front and had a picnic on the beach to watch the sun set.  It was a delightful evening.  The next day we played pickleball with Dave & Mickey, Katy & Lannie, Jim & Lisa and our doctor from home, Bob.  Of course that meant dinner at the club house.  The next night we walked over to Doc Ford’s with Jim, Lisa & Bob for a nice dinner and listened to a live band.  

On Saturday we had a wonderful visit with my aunt and uncle who had just arrived from Minnesota after having gotten both of their vaccines. It had been several years since we had seen them so it was wonderful to catch up and reconnect.

The last day of February was moving day.  We are headed down to the keys with our first stop at the Jolly Roger in Marathon Key.
