It hadn't rained all night, but shortly before 7:00 A.M., just as we were leaving Royal Palms Marina in Englewood, Florida, it started raining. It rained all day. Fortunately, we were on the ICW (Intercoastal Waterway), mostly a narrow channel, so the crab pots weren't in our path. Since visibility was rather limited, this was a very good thing. We got to our new winter home Paradise Marina in N. Fort Myers, Florida, right around 2:00 P.M. Paul and Patty had driven our van from Cincinnati to N. Fort Myers for us and delivered it within about 15 minutes of our arrival. Thank you, Paul and Patty. It was great to visit with them this afternoon.
It is nice to be here. The weather has been warm enough for shorts only yesterday and today. Now we're ready for some Florida sunshine. We are also happy that we made it just in time for Thanksgiving. The marina is having a community Thanksgiving dinner. The manager is providing the turkey, a ham, and mashed potatoes. Everyone is bringing a side dish. John and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we'll see many of you over the Christmas holiday. 'Til then.......
