Underway

In my last post I was whining about the generator problem that was keeping us tied to the dock. My whining must have worked because later that day Rob the mechanic called and said the repairs to the pipe were complete and that he was on his way over to reinstall it!

The silver pipe is the culprit! Notice the patch.

With repairs now complete we made plans to break away on Thursday but not before dinner at Pignoli's in Cape Coral on Tuesday and at the Edison on Wednesday. Incidentally Wednesday night is ladies night at the Edison. Quite the meat market!

Thursday came and off we went. After a week of waxing and waiting Tourist was chomping at the bit to get out of the slip. We were joined by Kasey's Choice and Private Affair II. Our destination, Glover Bight. Not far but not at the dock!

Kasey's Choice and Private Affair II along with a couple other intruders.

It didn't take long for the party to get going on Private Affair II. Plenty of libations complete with music and dancing.

Sorry Pete. Pam likes to lead!

Some of the crew on shore leave at Marker 92.

We hung out at Glover Bight until Sunday soaking up the sunshine and exploring the canals by dinghy. While exploring we were found by John & Gail. friends of Donnie & Marilyn's from Nova Scotia. We followed them to their home on one of the canals where we had cocktails before returning to the boats.

While we were visiting another friend of John and Gails showed up in their 56' Viking.

Sunday we pulled anchor and headed down to Ft. Myers Beach to the mooring field to spend a couple of days and to get Kasey's Choice hauled out for some maintenance on Monday.

This guy was sitting on the side of the boat waiting for breakfast when I got up Sunday morning.
