Fort Myers, Florida - Day 15

Manatee Park was a treat this week as we saw so many Manatees enjoying the warm waters along this power plant's warm, fresh water discharge canal. The highlight was seeing a Momma, Daddy, and baby Manatee nose to nose (to nose)!  Manatee Park is a non-captive warm water refugee for the Florida Manatee. Manatees seek this warm canal as refuge when the Gulf water temps fall below 68 degrees.

Tonight we enjoyed dinner at Bruno's of Brooklyn Italian Restaurant with Gold Loopers, Evelyn and Sid, aboard Something Special, Barb and Ross, aboard Attitude Changer, and Patty and Jack, aboard Nearly Perfect.

Fort Myers, Florida - Days 10 - 14

We enjoyed dinner and live music with Michael and Mundy in Englewood, Florida. Garrmin enjoyed the Pooch Park in Ft. Myers. We had a great time taking a road trip to Marco Island, Florida. We also enjoyed meeting other Loopers here at port along with meeting Eddy, our Looper "Eddy's Weather Wag", weather Guy that posts weather forecast for crossing over the Gulf of Mexico from the panhandle to the west coast of Florida.  Most importantly, Charlie is now officially retired after 37.5 years working for the Fort Worth Fire Department!!
