On the way to the Marina we stopped to thank Pat and Colin for dinner. They must be out walking. This is our elegant restaurant from last evening - Lady Margaret.
We hurried on to the MCM to use the facilities as our black holding tank was at 100%, a number no one needs to reach. Fourtunately, we were on the list for a pump out today!
Our destination today is West Marine. We picked up a new boat hook which floats! This one is retrievable when Debbie drops it!
Can you find the new boat hook?
We continued south on the main drag to 7 Mile Bridge. The cars use the new bridge and the old bridge has been made into a walking, fishing and golf cart bridge to an island. The picture below shows the walking bridge on the left and the car bridge on the right.
We decide to ride our bikes on it. It is two miles of easy riding. When we reach the end, a section of bridge has been removed so there is no way we can go further.
Guess what - the ride back into the wind is much more difficult and we stop 3 times in 2 miles. When we finally get back home, we have riden over 7 miles. Our bodies feel invigorated but our bottoms are very sore. The bike seats leave a lot to be desired!
Colin and Pat are back on Lady Margaret and we wish them well on their trip to Fort Myers. We are happy to get home, eat lunch and relax. Debbie reads a book while Tom uses his computer and goes for gas in the dingy.
About 4 we head for MCM for showers and the news. We have a dinner invitation from Ted and Trish aboard South Shore II. They are docked farther up Boot Key in a slip. We have drinks and nibbles on the stern, brats and broccoli salad inside and strawberry and blueberry shortcake back outside. The moon looks in on us. We get caught up on our adventures on the Rivers and Loopers we know in common.
