Nana returns or IE after a wonderful few days in snowy Franklin. While away Nanadad was busy and we are now the proud owners of a new Walker Bay dingy.
We are excited that we finally can feel safe exploring, particularly when anchoring. Nanadad donated the old dingy to one of the dockhands who was very happy and promptly repaired the punctures so his adult kids could have a run around. Great to recycle items.

Nana and Nandad took the dingy on its first ride down the Caloosahatchee River and had a wonderful lunch at Pinchers. We then had a fantastic bike ride down Mc Greagor Ave passing Edison’s Winter Estate. A beautiful avenue with lots of trees and areas to sit and watch the river flow. We then went to the Florida Rep for a fantastic performance Night and Day. Singing and dancing to Cole Porter , it was just wonderful.

A day of catch up starting with a long walk over the bridge and back. It is wonderful to watch so many walkers, joggers, and bikers use the lane for exercise. Laundry needs to be done, a lazy afternoon reading and dinner reservations at the Veranda. It is celebrating 40 years of operation. The owner bought the two three-story Victorian homes in 1978 and transformed them into the Veranda. The interior is certainly elegant in Southern style and the bar is very cozy with a live piano player - always a treat. They also have the most unique way of making Caesar salad right at your table which we will have to try the next time we go.

IE is back at York Island on Pine Island Sound on anchorage. Another beautiful sunny day. This time we were able to explore the canals along the St James City side in the dingy. A very interesting place with lots of meandering canals almost like a maze. We passed three Tiki bars all of which look like you could pull up your boat and stay for the evening - not sure who would be responsible for the ride back to the boat!!!Anyway Nana and Nandad stopped for one beer and headed back for the sunset dinner onboard. In case you hadn’t noticed that is Nana peeping out from the ass!
