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.
