We had a pleasant surprise last week when Marc & Michelle visited from back home. They were passing through the area and stopped by to say hello and reconnect with some of the boaters they met while doing the Loop a couple years ago. It was great to see them and catch up on some of the hometown happenings.
We've also been visited by the Metlife blimp a few times over the past week. Must be spying on us!
The marina has been as full as it's ever been since we've been coming here. Somehow Eric the dockmaster squeezed 136 boats into 131 slips the other night including this pair of Krogen Express 52's.
As I stated earlier it has been on the cool side down here as evidenced by the long sleeves and insulated vest being modeled by Bill in the below photo.
Even the cool can't ruin a good sunset over the Caloosahatchie.
In the line of something different we decided to drive down to Naples and get our Redneck On by checking out the swamp buggy races. It was great fun watching both the buggy's and the people. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Check out the video at the end.
Part of the crew.
Oooey!
Treats!
Spectator rides.
There was plenty of action in the swamp and behind the grandstands with food and souvenirs as well as one booth dedicated to a Pitbull rescue organization. They had a few nice dogs there who were looking for a new home.
Our day was topped off with dinner at Ichiban's and a visit to the Cigar Bar.
A good end to a fun day.
