Day 184: Thursday, March 7, 2013

Port to Port: Fort Myers, Florida

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

Mile to Mile: We agonized over whether to stay a few more days or go today. In the end we decided to just relax for a few more days “for free” (since we are paid for a month) and leave Sunday morning. It’s surprisingly hard to make this decision since we don’t have somewhere we have to be – we just want to get to Norfolk VA by May 1 just a little ahead of the Great Loop Rendezvous boats. We’ll just take it one day at a time.

I spent part of today at the library again. I’m getting caught up on a bunch of To Do items like our taxes, expenses, route planning, etc. Its nice to have nice reliable internet for doing these projects. We probably won’t ever stay in one place this long again so we need to take advantage of this “free” time.

Since we bailed on the Meet and Greet yesterday because it was too windy, some of our neighbors decided to try again tonight so we took our chicken and rice and a plate of crackers and cheese up to the deck in front of the marina office and enjoyed a beautiful evening of wine, snacks, dinner and conversation. We will miss our new friends in Fort Myers.
