Day 152: Sunday, February 3, 2013

Port to Port: Fort Myers Beach

Underway: 0:00 am      Motor Off: 0:00 pm      Miles Traveled: 0      Stayed At: Marina

First Things First: First time making oatmeal in rice cooker; first time making nachos in rice cooker.

Mile to Mile: It’s been a little cool in the morning lately so oatmeal has sounded good but is a pain to make on the cookstove. So we tried making it in the rice cooker and it turned out great. We need to adjust the amount of water and cooking time a little but we will try that again for sure (it only took us 5 months to figure that out).

We decided to explore the area on the other side of the bridge a little more (believe it or not but the beach can get a little boring if you walk it everyday). We wandered by lots of marinas, mobile home parks, restaurants and vacant lots – a little bit of old Florida hoping someday to become the new Florida. We’ll see how long that takes.

We came back and didn’t watch football (actually we watched a little of the game but it looked bad for San Francisco so we watched one of our library DVD’s instead). We enjoyed some simple nachos heated in the rice cooker with the movie (this worked better than we expected and now Cindy is searching the internet for other things to cook that way). We were really surprised to see that SF almost came back by the end and thought of Jess being in SF – Sarah and Jake are going out to visit her next weekend which should be a blast. We’ll be there in spirit.
