Dec 11th 2017

Sunday December 10th a Layday at Pink Shell and as you can see Nana is well wrapped up. We rode our bikes 6 miles to get Mass at St Columbkille Fort Meyers. Now trust me when I tell you it was a very long ride against the wind all the way. Naturally we arrived as Mass was finishing so a very nice lady offered to drive us to Subway where we got breakfast and then walked back to the church which was another mile!! We were very determined that we would get Mass. After all that effort we were honored by the bishop, The Knights of Columbus and a wonderful choir. During Mass Nandad recharged his e-bike for the ride back. A very active morning. 

Monday December 11th Irelands Eye is leaving today for Sanibel. A great picture of Nandad at the Christmas Poinsettia down at Time Square Fort Meyers beach. Also when returning to the boat last night after a wonderful evening stroll this was our late night visitor. 

Monday Ireland Eye leaves The Pink Shell after four wonderful days. She arrived at Sanabel Marina which is just a short ride across San Carlos Bay. Again the Skipper did a fantastic job of backing in Irelands Eye into a narrow slip right beside the Gramma Dots Seaside Saloon. The Marina is surrounded by magnificant Black Cove motor yachts as the owner runs Ireland Yacht Services. Irelands Eye looks quite the elegant lady holding her own. A wonderful bike ride to the Lighthouse and stroll along Lighthouse Beach where lots of bleachers are doing the Sanabel Stoop collecting shells. Sanibel has 22 miles of bike trails crisscrossing the island which is 12 miles long and three miles wide.
