Gulf Coast Treasure
We spent a quiet week in Fort Myers. The cold front that brought strong winds and cool temps, as forecast, developed and we were glad we holed up there for the week. However, Fort Myers doesn't offer a lot to do or see. There is the Edison Ford Estate, which is well worth seeing, but we had seen it two years ago. We rode our bikes one day into a very nice residential area and around an historic church. We used the pool as it warmed up later in the week, and we did almost daily trips to the close-by Publix grocery store, for something to do. Greg couldn't even make much progress with any varnishing tasks as it was too windy. But we managed to occupy the week, with great neighbors and got underway at the end of the week, in a bit of fog, which burned off early. Our trip up Pine Island Sound was very nice and we anchored in the late afternoon in Pelican Bay at Cayo Costa state park. Greg swam, as it was a good opportunity to survey the boat bottom on a warm afternoon. Th
