 Since my last posting we have celebrated Valentine's Day.  Dave got me a Marathon shirt and a card.   It was my turn to not do anything for him.  At lunch and dinner the ladies got a rose.  That was the evening the Tartan friends went to dinner.  It was nice to see the Heilmans,  Ahrens, Adensams and Keiths.  Lots of stories relived and new ones shared.
 The weekend turned rainy, cold and very windy.  We spent one evening at the movies seeing Argo.   The little theater seats 108 in bistro style.
 Saturday we braved the mud with Walt and Mary at the Pig Pine Key Flea Market.  We stocked up on produce and a few goodies.  After that we were treated to the best pizza we have every had at the No Name Pub.  See pictures of the interesting interior.  Then we drove out to the end of the Key to see the Key deer.
 We missed celebrating Nathan's 4th birthday, but this year he had his Aunt Adrienne there with him.  Happy Birthday Big boy and Owen turned 5 months.
  Monday we prepared to leave Marathon,  Tuesday at 7 A.M. we headed to Naples.  The Gulf was lumpy most of the way but we did not get the rain they had in Marathon.  I had an episode of slight sea sickness.  We put 114 miles behind us as we arrived at the City Dock in Naples at 3 P.M..  Some of the amenities are not top notch but the dockage is minimal and the laundry is $1 for wash and $1 for dry, plus they have block ice.
 Last evening we met a couple cruising in a Watkins 25.  They are programers from the mountains of NC. They showed us their Engel AC/DC refrigerate/freezer.  Something to think about.  Theyy suggested we would like the Punta Gorda area and they might be back there if we stop there on our way back to the Caloosahatchee River.
 Today we rode our bikes all over the area and snooped in high end shops and Dave commented that the high end cars around make the area like a car show. The beach is nice and we bought a cheap umbrella to use at the beach tomorrow.
